I have a 125 gallon preformed pond, 20 inches deep, that I just installed. I haven't added fish or plants or anything yet. The more I see of turtles the more I like the idea of having one, I am just not knowledgeable about them at all. Hence my post. I am wondering if my setup would/could work for a turtle to live in year around? I live in western Wa and our winters do get down to freezing but almost never lower than the teens. I have heard of a few different breeds like the red eared slider and reeves turtle. I think a smaller turtle would be better suited to the size of my pond. I could provide a basking area and a small fence/border around the pond if needed. I have also thought about stocking the pond with a couple native fish like a perch and a longear sunfish. I plan to add lots of plants to the pond as well like elodea and water hyacinth, lily pads, bamboo etc. So with that being said, what do you all think?
