Message: [QUOTE="fishin4cars, post: 84976, member: 3097"] I wouldn't worry at all about a 2" slider in a pond. Once he gets up to 10" or so then I might get little more concerned. BTW they eat meat just like snapping turtles do, In fact they probably eat more but they also eat bugs and tadpoles and prefer dying fish where snappers prefer live. If fed well I doubt you'll have any problems with them bothering most fish. I'll be surprised if he stays in the pond for more than a month, sliders wander and he may leave and head to the big pond but be aware, a big one may wander and appear in your pond. LOL I have musk turtles (Stink pots) that just appear every once in a while. they are like small snapping turtles, once they figure out the pellets are food they get really tame, but have to watch out because they will bite at the fish too. Good luck on the site, I think everyone is having little issues getting used to the new set-up. There are still several things I liked about the old server better and hopefully we will get some of that fixed or back on this one in the near future. [/QUOTE]
