We just moved this winter, so my box turtles did not get to hibernate this year. I cant wait to start getting their enclosure set up here. We are essentially starting over from scratch so its awesome to see your pictures.
That looks familiar! My daughter is always ankle deep into whatever I am doing.View attachment 203060View attachment 203061
I've got to put some more rock in the pond and some succulents around it but it's almost done. I still might put a waterfall in yet love me some turtles and outdoors!!
Looking good. What do you plan on using for a pump to keep it clean? I've been looking into solar ones, but I'm new to the whole pond thing.View attachment 203060View attachment 203061

I was going to ask if you treat the water at all?I place it in a box filter, the pump also has a filter. The solar pumps work fine if you have space for the panels. I use one in my hatchling pen. I have pvc pipe ran and exclusive GFCI outlets for my ponds so all the bigger ponds are electric and I can thread tubing and electrical without the turtles doing any damage.
Yes, I use bio balls, aquasafe, then I use plants to help stabilize itI was going to ask if you treat the water at all?
Nice turtle Eric!
That's almost perfect weather for my boxies.. I'm convinced I can see them smiling when it rains lolIt's flooding here today, 50's and 60's then back to 70's next week. Turtles are loving it though, just checked the enclosures and several were out walking around.[OTE]
