thanks so much for your help!
we have found a possible home with a friend whose backyard has an artifical waterfall and ponds from a natural spring water source (located at the foot of a mountain, temp is from 15-20deg C). there are two koi ponds (with giant foot-long kois), of which the deepest is around 4 feet. the two ponds are separated by a shallow strip of walkway with stepping stones, and the depth of the strip is around 3 inches, and all around is a normal yard, grass, shrubbery, trees, etc. do you think this could be a suitable environment for the leaf turtle? is the water depth okay considering it can still climb onto land through the walkway? would it be aggressive towards the koi?
any suggestions would be great, thank you so much!

sincerely,
elisa lin
