my RES is currently in a tank, and as she now lives at home, im thinking of building her a home in the garden as it is summer and obviously getting hotter
was just wondering a good setup idea?
i've searched quite abit, but all i can find is when people keep them in large tanks/barrell type things outside and its not very helpful xD
she's only about the size of the paml of my hand, and was just wondering about the ratio of water/dry land, if she'll prefere grass, stone or sand of a mix, types of plants etc, and how big the whole thing including the water will need to be xD
yes i want to know everything
+ she hadnt eaten since october which i've been told is because of winter?
HOWEVER
today i found some poops in her tank, so yaaay.

thank you

You don't need to let your turtles hibernate, it can be dangerous if not done properly. And if you didn't lower your temperatures than you should have your turtle checked out. Not eating for months is not a good sign.
