My family intends to put a turtle pond in this area. However I’m asking about general information about building ponds and then what maintenance would look like (and if I can do anything to minimize said maintenance). It’s in southern cali so it’s hot and the dirt is, as you can see, very dry if that changes anything.
My family has two turtles. My parents want to make them a sort of pond in the area depicted in the second picture. I would like to know what I can do to make them a comfortable habitat that would minimize maintenance since they are not my turtles and I know their “owner” is a child and probably won’t do too much on their own. I’m not entirely sure how wide I can make it as it needs to be fenced off as we have dogs as well. I’ve also never dug a pond before so any information about that would be nice however as this isn’t a pond digging Reddit I’m mostly asking about requirements to be met for the turtles wellbeing.
Edit: I’m also not entirely sure what kind of turtles they are unfortunately…
He looks cool but I just started a new account and can’t really test him super well… (if you saw me accidentally post this without the picture no you didn’t)
One of my family members bought a house and they left a bunch of stuff. These are the cameras (I think im not sure about 1 or 2 of them… I left the property so I will not be able to send further pictures till tomorrow apologies for that I should’ve made a post sooner.
