My snapper pond is pretty secure, far as the turtle escaping from it, that is. . . or, that's what I've always thought. I would have been hard pressed to figure out how she escaped if she ever turned up missing. But that was answered this evening when I went out to do my evening chores:
To catch the leaves from the mulberry tree in the fall I have plastic bird netting stretched across the water. Then after the leaves are gone, I just roll it up and it stays there along that far edge of the pond. I have no idea how on earth she got up there, but then I went to get her down, her claws were stuck. So maybe she just reached up and climbed. At any rate, I've now removed the plastic netting roll.
