Ok I Have a backyard water garden with 2 ponds and a waterfall and stream set up, the ponds are about 12X9 and 6X5, the stream runs for about 10 ft and is very shallow, the ponds are just over 2 ft at the deepest.
Ok I have 4 Turtles-3 Sliders, and a Painter...all seem happy and seem to be doing ok,
But my large slider (12") keeps burroughing in the bushes and my vegetable garden. Do Sliders normal hibernate in summer? In LA, CA it gets hot in LA, but I check on him and he gets wet from when we water garden and seems to be ok and just hisses at me If i try and disturb him/her, but I dont know what he or she could be eating? Hasnt moved...could she be laying eggs? I dont want to move her back into the pond if this is the natural reaction of the animal. I figure she got there she can get back. But wondering if she is laying eggs? hibernating? what?
THANKS
