I love the concept but I have two critiques... one is simply the video--well detailed throughout the whole process but it's nearly 30 minutes long (which I like) but with only about 30 seconds dedicated to the completed project. Second, as a turtle owner, it's amazing what they can climb up and those spots on the sides of the waterfall can easily be scaled by Painters, Sliders and Map Turtles--couldn't tell if there was any additional barrier on that tier. With that said, I love the build--especially the oversized wetland because turtles are messy eaters and the bay intake rather than a skimmer. Not only is it better for avoiding the turtles possibly getting trapped, but it's much better for collecting the floating food that spoils in the filter media... instead, it gives the turtles more time to get to it--it can even be planned as the "feeding spot".
Right. The turtles will escape. sorry but that is what they are great at doing. Between preditors and super high rate of escape ( they will climb everywhere until they find a way and here I can spot many ways to check out) it is hard to keep them in ponds. I am going through this right now.
The idiots loading the trailer with boulders if they were professionals they would have put a few inches of sand on the bottom then putting in the boulders.
“I LIKE 🐢’s” 👊
Beautiful set up. Those will be some happy turtles

Thanks Mike, great feedback!
