Hello i want to build a small outdoor pond cause I have limited space.

I could build it 60 inches x 40 inches and about 20 inches deep.

Is there a turtle species that could live in this comfortable ?
I want to keep the turtle 24/7 outside I live in Washington

Is that the size of the pond plus there would be some room around a side or two for the turtle to get out of the water? If so, that would work for the small and medium sized turtles. Mud, musk, spotted, S Painted a male map - could all do well in a pond that size if set up properly with good filtration. You could also do box turtles with mostly land and a smaller, shallower pond in that area.

That would be the water area yes. I have all around 10 inches of soil when I'm finished
