Hi
I'm planning on creating an outdoor Turtle garden and thought i would ask if any of you have outdoor setups that i could see pictures off or plans on the best way forward. I have a pretty good idea of what i want to create but need some info on what's the minimum requirements are.
What's the best type of Turtle to keep outside all year round?
Is there a correct percentage of land and water?
How much space per Turtle?
Will they require an indoor basking area, if not will they require fake uV as well as sunlight?
I have an area in the garden that i have set aside and plan to build a low level walled garden (with inner overhang) but i want to get it designed right before i start.
Once created i will be looking to adopt and hopefully rescue as i often see so many adds in shop windows!!
I already keep Koi in a huge 20' x 12' pond so the filteration side is not a problem.
regards
Alan
