Default Turtles in Ponds?

cp Can turtles survive in a large
inescpable (for a turtle) pond?


Is there a rock ledge in the pond?
What turtles need is place to bask so they can warm up their innards in order
to function.
Snappers will bask in shallow water but most other turtles need to get out and
bask at the edge of the pond.
If you can build an island that would work.
I built mine out of builder's brick and topped it with a wide shallow planter
full of creeping jenny and iris.
The turtles would float up and onto the island.
