Default A ? about RES Turtles in ponds

I have bought two medium sized RES and put them in my pond last Friday. I
havent seen them yet. There is no way to escape and the yard they wouln't be
able to leave. I read that they can stay under water for hours. Can anynone
help??


When I first got mine he was very shy. If he heard you coming it was Dive!
Dive! Dive!. That was in March. Now when I sit on the edge of my deck that
overhangs the pond, he swims over and makes wild leaps for my toes, telling
me he wants to be fed. That all took a while. I think he became familiar
with me as I built the deck over a period of a month.

He's still quick to dive for cover though, if something odd comes along.
