How'd he get in there?

[TgM]

Looked over at my filter this morning to see something popping its head out, at first glance thought it was another snake.

Walked over for a closer look.

How in the heck did he, or in this case she get in there?

He more than probably climbed your rockery and fell in, thankfully he could stand up and didnt drown , what are you going to do with the little guy keep him ?

She's probably wondering the same thing!

Nice surprise

Make sure it gets out. Its not an aquatic turtle so if trapped it could drown.

Cute little girl! Now you gotta make turtle steps..................oh boy another project

 

[TgM]

He went on his way this morning, lots of box turtles around here.

Don't think I need another project, LoL.

The turtles get on the rocks to get a drink, they tip them and then fall into the pond. I made sure any rocks around my stock tank where heavy enough to support a turtle ow they tip the rock and fall into the pond. I had one drown , so made sure only real heavy rocks surrounded the tank.

Ahhh, how sweet! They are very good climbers!

Looks like it is trying to get your attention!!! A little help over here please?

Oh are snakes common around the pond? I had my liner rolled up into my stream liner while I was finishing up on the main pond. Yesterday we unrolled it and there was a Gardner snake, nice and health sized curled up in one of the folds! I screamed like and ax murderer was after me and I really don't want snakes!!!

 

[j.w]

Well it's prolly ditto from the snakes point of view..............he doesn't want you either. I can just envision you screaming at the sight of that poor little snake

Already moved one water snake this spring after he ate a fish. Had a baby in there couple days ago, was gonna relocate him to but haven't seen him since.
