    I am a turtle in a 90 gallon tank, but I feel like he would be so much happier and a larger space. we have a few garden beds that need to be redone in our backyard and I figured while doing that I could possibly build an elevated pond and this is the best video I’ve seen so far. Thank you.

    Well, that was fun. What a lucky find, getting all that lumber for free!
    Thank you for including the cuties swimming their little faces up to the camera, then eating! Hope they didn't do worse than nip your fingers a bit.

    Your next big adventure will be building a house or getting another house when you get older and you build the house around the turtle pond that should be your next adventure. When you hit your 40s 50s I would love to see that I bet you could do it no problem.

    Your concrete already has stress cracks and you just added 2 tons on the very edge of it. I strongly suggest you move it to the ground next to your concrete pad.

    hey, question I am trying to do something similar to your build I have a tank already built up now I'm wondering what if I need a basking spot. I have red-eared sliders and I was wondering if I could do something similar to yours or if would i need to make it slightly different. For example if i needed a basking spot or more land for the red-eared sliders

  • @theohickerson3696
    @theohickerson3696 Год назад

    Are you using any type of heating system since it's outside or will the water Temps be ok because of the larger mass of water
