"john" I installed a kiddie pool in my box turtle enclosure in my yard,
with a small circulation pump and embankment so the turtles can get in and
out.

Seems like a lot of trouble for BOX turtles that are just going to cool
off
in the water. How many box turtles? how big is the pool?
=====================
I sometimes find a wild box turtle soaking in my small inground, un-netted
150 gallon pond. No problems with any stool they pass but then there is a
small filter and pump that also runs the small waterfall. I haven't seen
any harm done to the rosy reds or goldfish.
