I've got several questions regarding RES nesting :
-What would be the minimal age/size for them to be left in the "wild" (of course, they'd be in a grillaged space, but it's still outside)? I've got 2 3.5" males and they feel quite small.
-Is there any type of soil and climate that's ideal or harmful for them? I'm asking because I might well be moving to Greece soon, where the soil is dry and acidic and the weather quite hot.
-If the Greek weather won't be a danger to them (especially with trees/foliage over their dedicated space outside), do you think it would be doable to create a 10' by 10' space for them covered by vegetation (so they have some shade) in the yard of
this house? That's the one I'm looking to buy, so I'd rather make sure beforehand that it can fit the needs of my turtles.
-Would it be a good idea to create a small artificial basin, with a "beach" that would be easy to climb, for the sliders to take a dip from time to time? If yes, what should I be paying attention to in regard to the quality of the water?
Thanks in advance!
