Hey all. I'm building a good size pond that can fit 6-10 water turtles no swet. I live in Southern California so the weather is usually always good. The only types I have come up with to put in there are 2 RES and 2 Western Paints. I want to keep pairs of the different species of water turtles, preferably a 1 male to 1 female ratio. Can anyone else give me advise on other species of turtles I can put in my pond? Ones that don't get huge, look good, eats well, and will get along with the others. I would prefer Native North American Species. Ones I was thinking about in genneral were...
-Maps
-Sawbacks
-Spotted Sidenecks
-Cooters
-Yellow Sliders
-Snapping
-Diamondback Terrapin
-Stinkpots
-others....help!?
If anyone can give me there opinions about the types of turtles I should include in my pond that would be great. Please list the types of turtles and give specific names. If you need any information just ask.
David
