Recently had a 800-1000 gallon pond built with a waterfall in my backyard. What are some good options in Southern California for aquatic or semi-aquatic turtles that can live outdoors all year, it's north facing area with sun through 2pm, then complete shade in the afternoon?
Not really interested in RES, they get quite big (which may be better against predators), but I see them everywhere, possibly mexican ornate or rio grande sliders. Couple smaller turtles I'm interested in learning more about - diamond back terrapin, NA wood turtles, spotted turtle, or pink belly sidenecks.
Any local breeders for some of these species I mention, rather buy local then ship cross country? Still in the very early stages but want to start researching ...
