Turtles are my pleasure and hobby. I been around with turtles for a long time. I have 2 diamond back terripans, 2 eastern terripans in a 125 gallon long aquaruim. A eastern painted turtle that i have had for over 20 years living with my mother in a 40 gallon tall. I also have acquired 35 koi that my mother has collected for many years in her front yard pond that was very small for that many koi. (It was 5 foot diameter and 2.5 feet deep.) Last year i built 2 ponds in her back yard. An above ground pond 10 feet long x 4 feet wide x 3 feet deep i have 3 mississippi map turtles living in that pond fro spring to fall inside in a 65 gallon for winter. Then a lower pond in ground pond 10 feet x 6 feet by 3 feet deep for the koi. Koi live in pond year round. The pond together create a L shape . This year will be my cosmetic for the ponds. During the winter this year I am building a 125 gallon aquarium stand and topper with a custom basking platform for the terripans because last year they where laying eggs on the platform i have in there now. My platform with be 1/4 of the tank and will have 6 to 7 inches of sand for digging for egg laying also above the water line. I have pictures of every thing and building pictures as well I have to put them all on my computer from my phone. Ill do them soon promise.

Any ideas from are welcome and I would love to hear every one else's stories. I am so excited and wish every one luck.

thanks

Welcome to MFK! Hope you have a fun time & informative time here!

It would be lovely to see pictures of every thing when you get the chance....

Ok right your Irish so i figure this is not a language barrier thing.... But what the hell "turtle with no legs" if you asked a sensible question you might get a response. I'll fill in the gaps and presume you mean a turtle with flippers, in which case if you want fresh water then fly river turtles are what you are looking for!
