I have recently read an article writen by a turtle pond owner. In the article it talked about making a pit for Box turtle hibernation. It explained their procedure, and mentioned that even their more aquatic turtles used the hibernation pit. So my question is, is this true, is it possible?

My other question is if you want to have a turtle pond (and keep the turtles in it) you must have some sort of fence. But my question is what kind of fence can you have (that is adequate enough to contain the turtles) that doesnt take away from the asthetics of a pond?


thanks!
