Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2015 1:08 pm Can a RES live outside in IL??
Hi I just received a res from someone taking horrible care of her. She is in desperate need of a larger tank, but I can't afford one. My next solution is making a pond for her. I was already going to make a pond, but I don't know if she would be okay all year long in a pond. I live in Sterling, IL and we have harsh winters, would she be okay? I don't think she can swim because I filled the bath tub up with luke warm water and put her in it and she tried but she couldn't figure out how to get to the surface. What should I do?
