Hi All,

I recently purchased my first home and am at the planning stages of planning my back yard to incorporate a turtle enclosure. I have kept spotted turtles and box turtles for years but always in seperate enclosures.

Is there a safe way to build an enclosure where spotted turtles and eastern box turtles can live together?

My main concern is the water depth of the pond being an issue for the easterns. Is this a valid concern? I have never had water more then a few inches deep with my easterns.

Space is not an issue, will likely be in the 15x20 size. I really don't think my wife thought will support multiple enclosures in the yard though.

Let me know - Scott
