They have a turtle paradise now. Lol. Great job. Keep me in y'all prayers. Next week is surgery. God bless y'all
You are in our prayers! STAY STRONG!!
We are all definitely keeping you in our thoughts and prayers Catherine💙💙💙
@@stacyadams357 thank you so much
It is a fabulous pond! I have to say though, as a 70 year old woman I dug a turtle pond with a shovel with a hella less whining
I’m definitely loving content like this. I have a turtle and someday hope to build her an outdoor pond like this when I move away from the north.
I don’t think it is overkill. I have seen turtles climb out of some pretty good enclosures. Good job 👍🏼
Thanks Boxboy👍😎
Great job, but I too have seen turtles climb out of stuff like that
Wow that is an awesome turtle pond, love everything about it, the split waterfall, the basking stump and wood, the beach, it's so beautiful plus the rocks keep them in making it a perfect habitat,such a gorgeous natural thing of beauty, you guy's literally rock!!
Yer hilarious! The boys did a great job on the pond and Madison did a great job on the video :):):):)
I like it! It inspires me to try something like that one of these days. Like you, I always assumed the toitles were better climbers than people gave them credit for, so I never attempted the "no fence" fence.
Ah, and I'd be remiss in not saying it came out very nice as well. It should really look even better once the landscaping starts to mature and blur some of those hard edges.
I agree the boys did a good job and it’s funny to me that Tristan took a field trip to the river to study turtles. He kind of reminds me of someone else I know….
Amazing turtle pond! Hey can u pls tell me what song u used for the beginning of ur video? Pls😊
Very cool and so awesome that Tristan did the fun research.
Yes, that’s how we do it around here!
What a great project! And research.
It was a great install by our team! THEY ROCK!!
That’s so 😎! I love turtles.
LOL I love KOI and Turtles! Greg is a hoot ;)
nice job guys!
Thanks Jeff, it’s been a long time -looking forward to seeing you again buddy👍🏻
Oof! Had to hand set all of those, what happened to that machine? Did someone forget the straps? Great work guys!
That is a legit question :-) Tristan will have to answer that one.
@@KoiAddiction 😳
👍👍👍👍
What’s up Geo good to see you supporting the channel :-) looking forward to seeing you soon my friend👍🏻😎
❤
If they need to where would they lay their eggs?
Beach area? We will focus on a more “elaborate” beach on our next attempt!
Turtles are really awkward trying to climb on land. That being said I have two that hate each other in a 6 foot tank with a divider and once in awhile they can magically make there way over to the other side to attempt to kill the other. Im moving one to a pond im currently building. Looks like plenty of wall to trap them here but I’d always make it twice as hard as I think it needs to be.
Yep, you are right AND they have nothing better to do 😂
@@KoiAddiction yes that is the reason to not to underestimate them. They don’t get embarrassed by how ridiculous they may look trying. They’ll just keep trying and trying every minute of the day lol
🐢🐢🐢🐢
What’s up Tony, glad to hear from you. Hope everything is going great out there I know you guys are cooking in LA😅
@@KoiAddiction ☀️🌡🥵🥵🥵my new place the AC is not the best good thing I don’t mind it warm…there’s a point though.
My turtle always climb fencing net at night😂
Yea they are escape artists!
@@KoiAddiction so what's the solution
😎😎😎
Excited to see you soon buddy!!
@@KoiAddiction absolutely!!!!!
Yep. if they aren't gone yet, they will be ( they will try there hardest to get out. But if too difficult to go back in, they will leave the area ).. I have three adult sliders. and I gave up trying to rock the entire parameter to prevent them from getting out. because they are crafty climbers. and if they keep trying. you'll find them on there back. So when the females want to lay eggs. they need land. if they can't get out of the pond. they will not stop trying, which can lead to injury whether it be from trying to climb out, or from not being able to lay there eggs, which can lead to being bound up. then off to the vet. I learned that when a female was out running around. they just wanted to lay there eggs and they would go right back into the pond. So I opened a door way. we let them go freely during the day. and they always know where the opening is as long as you don't pick them up and move them after they have already walked out on there own. we are going on 4 years now. all happy. and yes. they are protected from predators. I cover the pond every night with a wood grate cover until my new custom remote lifting patio cover is done. Nice looking pond though. but I'd suggest a fence of some kind. I'm building a multiple galvanized post parameter approx 14-16in tall, then will string stainless cable horizontal in a spacing of 1.5-2in to look like a cable rail fence or a Jurassic park enclosure. then the gazebo will remotely lower until it contacts the top of the posts and seals them off at night from predators. the reason for the fence now. is because we now have a tortoise roaming around the yard. can't have him falling into the pond.
Hey I Have 100+ yards of free fill for you. Just come to Boston!!! 😆 🤣 😂. But seriously I do
I feel like the fuel prices would be a deterrent?? LOL
Turtles or professional clammers
LOL 😂 I just gotta “not go there:”
There's so much wrong with this
What exactly
Too small, no place to walk around, no space for fishes so it will become mosquito and frog hole. Poor turtles. You do not understand a thing about turtles.
Thanks for your honest input! We do our best ;)
Sorry. I don't mean to be too judgemental. I have solved several issues since I got my turtle. I had invasive frogs, solved with gold fish. But they need space because they reproduce a lot too. Female turtles need to lay eggs in somewhere not to close of the pond. In soft soil. Turtles don't escape a nice pond unless it's dirty or over crowded. They are messy so needs extra filtration. They need protection against predators like a bridge that they can hide underneath. They need a tree trunk to climb and bask in the sun.
