Hello. I am new here on this forum, and relatively new to turtle pet-keeping.
I have made this, the ramp, for my RES (see image). It's a temporary solution until I am have one custom made using aluminium. Right now I am not sure how to make a ramp for it to climb out of the water.
Can I use a wooden plank? That is, plunging it into the water and leaving it there. WIll this affect the water quality? Hell, will my turtle even know how to use the 'inside' and 'outside' ramps?
I haven't placed my turtle into its new home because I am waiting for rain water to collect and then using it for the turtle tank. I live in Mauritius (google it) and I know the rain water is very safe to use. Hell, even the tap water isn't as chlorinated as in other countries.
