I keep about 6 mud and musks outside in a black rubbermaid type container
that holds ~240 gallons. I'm in central AL so I just leave them in it all
year long. In the summer the algae gets pretty bad. I put lots of live
fish in there as well as chopped up small fish and worms plus pellet food.
I should clean it out more than I do but they seem to be doing well in
there.

Anyone keeping turtles in their indoor pond?

Anything to watch out for? eg. Disease, escapes, sun bathing spot, fin
nipping?

TIA


Many reptiles, including turtles, are carriers of salmonella. Appropriate
caution should be taken when handling them. Keep them away from the
kitchen, away from young children and use all the safety precautions you'd
use with raw chicken.

Ask in rec.pets.herp, they'd have more information on what to do, also
try and include what kind of turtle.
