Wow! It must have taken you a lot of thought and planning to have an enclosure with so many different species.
One gal I know has a live camera on her turtle enclosure that continually givies live feed to her computer. When she's at work; and having one of those stressful days, she can view her enclosure via her computer.
So how big is your largest enclosure? And because I'm planning to do something similar myself; I'd love to know what type of pond filtration system you are using. If you post a picture; I'll post pics of my favorite hatchlings from the last two months.
Thanks,
Ric

I am saving for a nice camera. I will get up some pics asap. My largerst enclosure is an entire backyard, maybe 40 x 40 or so. I just spent alot of time going along the fence with sunken chicken wire. Every year I modify it.Well completey change it. The only problem is fing enough eastern box turtles to live there. I can't find them on the net anywhere.
