Should I start planning a backyard pen for baby snapper?
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2017 12:56 pm
Known animals that frequently visit my backyard are;
Two Garter Snakes
One Skunk
Thirty (And counting with the appearance of babies) Wild Turkeys
One Great Blue Heron
Unknown number of Gophers that live under the shed.
Unknown number of squirrels/chipmunks
Raccoons (Never seen in person, but I have been a victim of their trash bag raids in the past)
What are the guidelines to a good outdoor habitat? This baby snapper is admittedly my first turtle/herp (was planning on getting a Crocodile Skink pair). I've gotten parent permission to make use of a sandpit that we planned to make into a fire pit if a pond is needed. But I also heard that kiddie pools work well too.
