Default Turtles and ponds

I'm thinking of a low fence, one I can step over with ease, how high can
turtles climb?


In desperation they'll keep climbing. If they fall back onto rocks they can
crack their shells. That's why we too Fred to the lake when we saw he
climbed the support fence and was caught in the net.

Why safe? What eats turtles besides alligators? I can see some critters
getting baby turtles, but it would seem like a real chore as they get
bigger.


Herons, some snakes, cranes, dogs, racoons......
