Red Eyed Striper turtles
I just added 3 red eyed striper turtles to my pond that a friend gave
me. The smallest was about the size 0f a fifty cents piece. We then took him out and placed him in a tank to grow some before returning to the pond. If the water wasn't so murky we could actually enjoy them more. Oh well when it clears then we can really enjoy them |

Red Eyed Striper turtles
Do the turtles have a place in the pond they can climb on to bask? My
red-eared sliders have some rocks and a tree trunk for their sunning spots. They also manage to climb up a fairly sharp include.....they're miniature tranks! My oldest is about 8 or 9 years old now and about 10" in diameter. Hope you enjoy your guys. Gabrielle Peter Pan wrote: Phyllis and Jim wrote: Turtles sometimes go walkabout.

I bought a plastic lily pad for them to sun bathe =================================== Make sure they have a sturdy place to bask and dry themselves in the sun and air. A partly submerged log is good. They need sun to prevent rickets and to dry off to prevent shell funguses and infections. We found a small red eared slider in the 2000g pond last weekend when we drained it down to clean. We have no idea how he got there or where he came from. We don't see red-ears in the neighbor's stock pond. Two years ago it was one of those black sliders. We took him to the lake when we found him trying to escape a few times. -- RM.... Frugal ponding since 1995. rec.ponder since late 1996. Zone 6. Middle TN USA ~~~~ }((((* ~~~ }{{{{(ö |
