Question
Hi Bobyn,
Keep turtles in / around pond is good or not.
Please advise.
Thanks,
JZ

Answer
It really depends on a number of things such as:
1.  How big is the pond?
2.  What's in the pond?
3.  Which species of turtle are we talking about?
4.  Is the pond fenced?
5.  Do you like turtles?
6.  Do you mind if turtles eat a few small fish, snails, tadpoles, plants, etc. here and there?

My page on turtle ponds is at http://www.fishpondinfo.com/turpond.htm so that might help you.

Good luck!

I think my Grandmother called me Bobyn a few times.
