Hi! Yesterday I found a turtle that was walking around a busy road so I brought her home and refilled my 400 gallon pond. The turtle has a dented shell that looks like a gator bite her. (Though it looks like its healed) She is 11 inches long and 8 inches wide, and I think she is either is yellow belly slider or a florida cooter. I want to fill the pond a little higher (to give her swimming room) but I dont want her to excape so I was wondering if I netted the pond and anchored it down with heavy rocks will that keep her in?

I would think that would work. Just make sure that if that type of turtle needs to come out of the water there is enough room to do so.
I think that they sell low height dog fences 2-2 1/2 feet tall at pet stores, you could put that around the pond, and stake it down.
Hope that helps a little bit.

yes im going to put a log in there that stands out of the water. The problem is i can't do a fence because my mom doesnt want to see a fence by the front door.
