Love to hear more about it if he sticks around.

I have to agree about the 'eats anything' bit, they can get enormous and even when small will eat anything. Attacking ducks and depleting a pond full of ducklings are one of the more newsworthy antics they get up to. Don't hold out much hope for fish survival if it does get comfortable!!!

the larger of the 2 is a red eared it feeds on worms,maggots ,and some veg aswell as fish pellets.
they have there own pond and compound where all there needs are catered 4.

this pond has a 3 feet deep end under a leadge where they can get the best protection in the winter.
there have two beaches so they can climb out with ease.

most days they will be out barskin in the sun.

the map turtle was in my pond up to feb of the year but and it wasn,t intrested in my fish but the red eared chased the fish all over the place so beware the beaks on them r powerful.

also u must be very careful handerling them because the r carryies of salmonella.

i fish in the local area and there r many lakes and pond where they can be seen,where they get to big for there owners but this act of putting turtles in our waters is illegal.

if the pond is deep they will survive but the bigger they get the more damage they can cause to the fish stocks.

most don,t survive due to them being cold blooded but due to the mild winters we have now more+more live to grow good sizes.
