TURTLES NEW HOME 2011

our turtles had been living in the kiddie pool we had bought 2 years before, and over time and because of temperature, the old one started to crack.

craig suggested we go and get another one.

so we retired the yellow one and could only find a blue one. so we bought it.
*DISCLAIMER: the turtles ONLY reside in the kiddie pool in the summer and early spring. when weather changes to cooler weather they are brought inside to hibernate.*

these are pictures from the transfer of the turltes from out inside home, to the new, BLUE kiddie pool home.
1st time wed also put our smaller turtles with the larger ones, as well.

this image is the layout we did for them, we had also went and got some garden pavers (bricks) to put in as stepping stones for them to have the ability to dry out in the sun.

we also had gotten some new fish. we lost all the original ones.

we use these gold fish to eat the mosquito larve that ususally accumulates as a result of standing water.

works really well, we never have mosquitoes outside as a result of having any amount of gold fish in the kiddie pool with the turtles.
