JoesKoi.com - Turtle Pond

Originally completed in June 2005, this 800-gallon turtle pond/habitat is home to a small assortment of red ear sliders and painted turtles. All of our turtles were given to us by persons who could no longer care for them. If you have an aquatic turtle in need of a good home, please visit our Turtle Adoptions page. Construction photos for this pond are available in our Pond Construction section.
