Thanks, Ken.

I need to rethink what I am going to do. I bought one Waterland tub and now realize I need separate quarters for males, females, and hatchlings...so I need to rethink how I am going to do this. Based on earlier postings, sounds like I can keep the hatchlings in a plastic shoebox container for the first year or so. Just need to figure out if I need another waterland tub for the male .

I will take your advice and keep the waterlandtub inside. I live in the Southeast as well and we have plenty of creatures that could cause trouble for the turtles. Hawks, snakes, and racoons are all frequent visitors.

Right now I am staring at the waterlandtub trying to get up enough nerve to drill a hole and install the bulkhead that I bought. There were no instructions...and I am paralyzed with fear that this thing is going to leak.
