Out door pond in Las Vegas, who thought about winter ?
I dug a hole last spring and put a kiddie pool in the ground of our back yard. I have a red ear slidder who has lived in there about 8 months. He will not get out of the water. Chases other turtles and tortoise away.
It s now getting cold. I have gotten 2 -75gallon heaters out there for him. Last night got down to 45 or 50. Its only October.
What can I cover the pond with to keep the heat in for him, but still let him be able to come or go if he wants ?????
please help me.
 
First welcome to ac, Second, have you thought about an upside down kiddie pool on top of it? Just need a way to anchor it so it doesn't blow away
