    It sounds like a cool idea however I'd worry about escape or predators. How would you keep snakes out?

    I'm getting my softshell turtle a cattle watering tank, 6 foot diameter, for next summer so he can enjoy the outdoors...I wonder if something similar, but smaller in scale would work? You could then cover it with mesh or screen to keep out predators.

    I imagine a large kiddie pool set up half land half water might work. or something similar. You could attach a screen to the outer rim to keep potential predators like snakes out.

    I housed my adult outside 2 summers ago and it was amazing the change in attitude. I just made a frame from 2x6 lumber that was about 5 foot square. The one thing I would suggest is that the cage should have a bottom, mine did not and my male dug a hole under the cage.

    How's Klaatu been doing? Has he/she grown at all since you got her? I swear, Rocky may very well have GROWN since I got him! Seriously, that's insane!
