I’m planning on making a really basic 300 gallon or so pond next year for my two babies and hoping to turn it into a rescue since I’ve been seeing a lot of people trying to sell their turtles locally because they’re too big for their tanks after a while. Your videos give me lots of good ideas and inspiration!

[@kevinfraser7815]

Such wonderful work providing comfortable safe home for so many terrapins. Bravo, sir.

[@CaylorsReptilesAquatics]

I have an old pre fab pond in the ground. It was here when I bought the house 22 years ago. I’ve never kept anything other than pond plants in it. This makes me want to get a couple of young turtles. South East Tennessee here and it does dip to freezing a few winter days. What would over winter here? Thanks for the awesome vids.

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

Try a native species (but a captive bred one of course) like a map turtle or species of painted! Perhaps adopting a red eared slider would be a good option as well. Just make sure it's well fenced in!

[@CaylorsReptilesAquatics]

@@DanTheTurtleMan_ I appreciate the info!

[@MrsBJPalmer]

@@CaylorsReptilesAquatics There are usually lots of captive bred, returned Red eared sliders at rescues and some stores. Ask Bob and Ethan. They can probably point you to someone willing to rehome a native turtle. I hope you can find a couple! I'm anxious to get a couple myself, probably next year.

[@Monke28281]

@@DanTheTurtleMan_ would you have to do water changes inside the pond? I’m thinking on making one

[@twoturtletom]

Well, the water lotus did not explode as I had predicted! Good job turtles. Dan, it’s an amazing backyard.

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

I wish! The terps keep ripping it up or it would've

[@twoturtletom]

@@DanTheTurtleMan_ Seriously, it can get to be really problematic - we used to get calls from people wanting to rip it away from their docks in LAKE ERIE. :)

[@gailnix5462]

The love and passion you have put into your little slice of heaven there , it’s spectacular! I really enjoyed seeing the plants and how they’ve grown. The best part was seeing all the turtles. How you know each one and how they are related. Would love to see closer each and next generation ect . Love it all. Keep pursuing your passion.

Looks so good! Love the natural ecosystem for the terps

So cool Dan. I hope to have something like that one day.

Super cool video! I love seeing the Terrapins in the ponds. So cute❤

Watching for the 1st time and I LOVE your joy and enthusiasm for turtles. It is so charming and authentic. Your pond is simply amazing and the turtles are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much!!!

Awesome video! I can’t wait to buy a turtle off of you when you have some for sale.

That pond is beautiful, mine is only 1200 gallon and has 4 turtles. I’m surprised my water lilies are vigorous in growth with no damages.

Maravilloso 💚

Gorgeous darling, just gorgeous! Looks great bro 👍.

[@LegendOfTee]

Absolutely amazing

[@atifmahmud114]

It warms my heart to see this

[@DaybirdAviaries]

Are all your Terrapins the same subspecies? If not, are you concerned about them interbreeding? Are hybrids not a concern?

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

They are not. Ideally I'd prefer to separate, but I value the quality of life of my male ornates too much to remove them now. When I move and have separate ponds, then I will separate them!

[@jillrice2577]

Your setup truly is amazing!

[@Flynn1933]

Amazing! I’m so jealous all I have is a bird bath with water wiggler. Kudos to you!

[@anw9485]

Your pond is beautiful! I'm in the process of moving my 17 year old red-eared slider into an outdoor prefab pond. What plants would you suggest for nutrient export? I don't plan on using any kind of planting substrate aside from some smooth gravel. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

[@DesmondDyeOfficial]

Great work,perfect balance

[@erikm8372]

So do you have to make Diamondback terrapins' water brackish? I would think not with the koi. I just always think of them as estuarine or delta sorta species. Or is that more like, an adaptation they possess in case of a random event (storms, flood, etc.), and they are ABLE to adjust to fluctuations of salinity in nature?

[@johnnycarter2405]

I wish I had seen the episode about the turtle store review u had done but I ordered them before that. I got two and two at the beach and the two I bought from the turtle store website never grew any and both ended up dieing in a couple months

Can you put frogs in there

[@johnnydaboii7948]

Hey Dan,I’ve noticed the pond hasn’t been appearing as often, do you still have this big outdoor pond?

[@mike2687]

Man I love the DMTs! Question for you, how far north are you aware of where people keeping them, other than the Northern, in outdoor enclosures? I live in VA and Northern, even captive bred, are banned. Thanks!

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

Agh, I don't know if any other subspecies that would do well in VA sadly

[@mike2687]

@@DanTheTurtleMan_ - I appreciate it... maybe I'll ask Garden State Tortoise... I was surprised when I saw where he, in NJ, was keeping species like Florida Box Turtles and other species typically found in warmer southern states outdoors year round. Again, love your channel and your turtles--now we just need VA to allow some captive bred Northerns!

[@streetveggies4404]

Hi Dan! This is so inspiring to see and I want to try building an outdoor turtle paradise too. My biggest fear however, is raccoons. Do you have raccoon issues too and how do you deal with them?

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

Electric fence is the best option!

[@cinnamonsucculents6178]

DTs are my favorite turtle, but I can't own them in my state D: (Maps are by second, and I can't own those either!) I of course love my little buddy, Henry the YBS :)

[@muursnorthwestamexem8581]

Are you able to do a map turtle setup

[@mohunbojnal]

Hey Dan, You have done an amazing job out there, I was advised not to have terrapin and koi together. Did you face any issues with that? What's your experience like?

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

0 issues BUT if the koi got sick and slowed down, the turtles would pick one off or so. Koi in good health will have no issues.

[@Wedcreature]

Wondering how you constructed your bog? I’m designing/planning my own pond to build.

[@disneyfan7021]

Awesome pond with the turtles and koi🤗🤗🤗 It all looks perfect. Just wondering do you have an aerator hooked up to a diffuser for more oxygen for the turtles and the koi? And are there bullfrogs in the pond? Looks the the perfect home for koi, turtles, and frogs😂

[@ZozefinVasi]

Omg 😱😳😊

[@mikeyd271]

What climate is your winter? What do you do when it gets cold out? I live in Buffalo ny and I wanted to keep turtles in my pond but I’m unsure of what to do in the winter l. The pond doesn’t freeze over due to a heater

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

Find species that can tolerate the cold like painted turtles or certain types of map turtles!

[@Cssisabeautifulthang]

Do you have a mosquito issue

[@skydivegrl77]

question: I just did a smaller version of what you did, but I don't know where to get the log posts you have for a barrier. Any suggestion?

[@t0a0w]

how do you keep animals out your pond like coyotes racoons etc

[@aysh_2925]

Hi HI! i'm in need of ALOT of help right now and google isn't really helping me rn so yeah I could really use some advice right now. I've been seeing that my turtle's feces are a really dark green/black colour and I've now noticed these tiny red balls floating around in her water. I'm thinking its bladder stones but I'm really not sure and I'm so worried. I've had her for a little less than a year now and she has already had a respiratory problem I'm starting to think I'm doing a terrible job at this turtle parenting thing- I'm unable to make a vet appointment at the moment due to exams so what should I do in the mean time??? she's eating normally and hasn't had a change in behaviour or anything. She's still getting over the respiratory infection so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with that because I'm not seeing any yt videos anywhere on this and I'm just so scared. Can someone help please. Thank You

[@DragonLink007]

your oasis construction and update video gave me a lot of inspiration! currently working on making my own 100-gallon mini pond in my backyard. Any plant recommendations for filtration, water health, aesthetics, etc?
