I have a small goldfish pond out back and the lily pads in it are taking over the pond. I know lily pads are ok for water turtles, I feed them to my Red Eared Sliders, but can a sulcata eat them too? Just curious if they would be something I can add to his dinner once in a while.
Lily Pads - Sulcata?

Not many plants a sulcatta will turn his/her nose at! 
I think I remember reading-- the only lilies a Sulcata Can have are Daylilies.
I don't know the nutritional content of water lilies, so don't know how they would be to feed on a steady basis, however, I doubt there would be anything wrong with the occasional feeding. I know a guy who has a 80lb sulcata who eats the water lily plants out of the pond every chance he gets. The guy had to finally rig up a barrier between the sulcata and the pond to keep him out of it.
Water turtles regularly eat them. I can't keep them in my pond because the turtles eat them.

I cant seem to keep lily pads in my pond either (because of my aquatic turtles), I would love to take some of the lily pads off your hands. What city are you in?
