Small turtle

[Maggie3fan]

I got in a small water turtle recently. I have not had aquatics for a lot of years. But I still had equipment so set him up in a big aquarium because it's still cold here. My question...he's 5"scl...and not going to get much bigger. Spring and summer my box turtles are outside with a land part and a hand dug sorta pool. It is all surrounded by 2 high cinder blocks...I had a Russian who escaped from there regularly...the jerk...but do we think a small water turtle can escape that?

From my experience, not much, I don't thing that the climbing, "mountain goat" ability is in most water turtles.
Nor is the need to investigate what's out there.

So this non electronics literate person tried something with that little turtle that I ended up with...If this works...picture him saying...oh please I'm so hungry...please come on...those 3 big nightcrawlers and those pellets were not enough...I'm hungry...the bologna from your sandwich didn't get it...I'M HUNGRY!!!

Ok so I accidentally made a video of this little turtle...clear and sharp...but it won't post...guess I go watch Swamp People...

You have to copy/paste the URL off the video page and paste it here in your thread.

Also, some species of water turtle are VERY good climbers. I would think a water turtle, with their sharp pointy claws would be able to climb the cinder blocks. You can foil them by placing some sort of horizontal lip on the top brick.
