I recently had a thread about my "blind or close to it" albino RES. I talked with the teachers today about some way to help her eat.
A long discussion made short, we think it would be in her best interest for me to house her and I'll put another turtle in the tank.
I have been reading up and talking to other CTTC members with aquatics but want to see if I missed anything.
Here in my area of So. Cal I shouldn't need a heater, right?
Is a filter required or optional?
Can the RES live outside year round?
I use water dechlorinator in the turtle tank, is it also needed in a pond?
I'll be using a pretty large cement mixing tub as the pond. I'll have a land/basking area. I'll have it enclosed or covered for predator proof.
Aquatic plants I'll get. Food variety I have.
Anything else? Tips? Thoughts?
Poor girl has lost a lot of weight and felt like a hollow shell when I picked her up today.
Would baby food soaks work or is that tortoise only
