DIY Turtle Pond OASIS! - 2 Year Update 

I’m planning on making a really basic 300 gallon or so pond next year for my two babies and hoping to turn it into a rescue since I’ve been seeing a lot of people trying to sell their turtles locally because they’re too big for their tanks after a while. Your videos give me lots of good ideas and inspiration!

Such wonderful work providing comfortable safe home for so many terrapins. Bravo, sir.

Thanks for watching! I hope y'all enjoyed this lil tour! Patreon - patreon.com/DanTheTurtleMan Merch - teespring.com/stores/DanTheTurtleMan

The love and passion you have put into your little slice of heaven there , it’s spectacular! I really enjoyed seeing the plants and how they’ve grown. The best part was seeing all the turtles. How you know each one and how they are related. Would love to see closer each and next generation ect . Love it all. Keep pursuing your passion.

I have an old pre fab pond in the ground. It was here when I bought the house 22 years ago. I’ve never kept anything other than pond plants in it. This makes me want to get a couple of young turtles. South East Tennessee here and it does dip to freezing a few winter days. What would over winter here? Thanks for the awesome vids.

Well, the water lotus did not explode as I had predicted! Good job turtles. Dan, it’s an amazing backyard.

So envious of this pond man. Great job

That is turtlely awesome, I love your pond setup 😄

Looks so good! Love the natural ecosystem for the terps

So cool Dan. I hope to have something like that one day.

Super cool video! I love seeing the Terrapins in the ponds. So cute❤

Dude, your pond and your turtles look amazing. 👍✌️👊

Awesome video! I can’t wait to buy a turtle off of you when you have some for sale.

your oasis construction and update video gave me a lot of inspiration! currently working on making my own 100-gallon mini pond in my backyard. Any plant recommendations for filtration, water health, aesthetics, etc?

Gorgeous darling, just gorgeous! Looks great bro 👍.

It warms my heart to see this

That was pretty cool thanks for Sharing

Your setup truly is amazing!

Amazing! I’m so jealous all I have is a bird bath with water wiggler. Kudos to you!

That pond is beautiful, mine is only 1200 gallon and has 4 turtles. I’m surprised my water lilies are vigorous in growth with no damages.

This video made my whole day! Thank you for sharing this with us. 😍

Great work,perfect balance

I love their names ☺️

Where is this? How cold does it get?

beautiful ecosystem

Thats amazing!!

Watching for the 1st time and I LOVE your joy and enthusiasm for turtles. It is so charming and authentic. Your pond is simply amazing and the turtles are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

lovely and Beautiful pond, I love turtles so much !lol 😂🐢🐢🐢

Absolutely amazing

You're gonna need a bigger pond!

This is awesome!

Beautiful 🥰❤️💜

Great pond !

4:18 Shoutout to Supernatural 😍🔥

Are all your Terrapins the same subspecies? If not, are you concerned about them interbreeding? Are hybrids not a concern?

I love your vids keep it up

Your pond is beautiful! I'm in the process of moving my 17 year old red-eared slider into an outdoor prefab pond. What plants would you suggest for nutrient export? I don't plan on using any kind of planting substrate aside from some smooth gravel. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Nice Video Man Love From India 🙏🙏

人に慣れてますね~~~🐢𓈒 𓂂𓏸💛💛💛

Hahaha supernatural I love that show !

Maravilloso 💚

Awesome pond with the turtles and koi🤗🤗🤗 It all looks perfect. Just wondering do you have an aerator hooked up to a diffuser for more oxygen for the turtles and the koi? And are there bullfrogs in the pond? Looks the the perfect home for koi, turtles, and frogs😂

DTs are my favorite turtle, but I can't own them in my state D: (Maps are by second, and I can't own those either!) I of course love my little buddy, Henry the YBS :)

So do you have to make Diamondback terrapins' water brackish? I would think not with the koi. I just always think of them as estuarine or delta sorta species. Or is that more like, an adaptation they possess in case of a random event (storms, flood, etc.), and they are ABLE to adjust to fluctuations of salinity in nature?

Hey Dan,I’ve noticed the pond hasn’t been appearing as often, do you still have this big outdoor pond?

I would love a turtle pond but living in Houston with all the hurricanes we get. Not sure it’s a good idea 😢

Nice Update! But how is otis and jelly Doing?

I wish I had seen the episode about the turtle store review u had done but I ordered them before that. I got two and two at the beach and the two I bought from the turtle store website never grew any and both ended up dieing in a couple months

Man I love the DMTs! Question for you, how far north are you aware of where people keeping them, other than the Northern, in outdoor enclosures? I live in VA and Northern, even captive bred, are banned. Thanks!

Hi Dan! This is so inspiring to see and I want to try building an outdoor turtle paradise too. My biggest fear however, is raccoons. Do you have raccoon issues too and how do you deal with them?

question: I just did a smaller version of what you did, but I don't know where to get the log posts you have for a barrier. Any suggestion?

Wondering how you constructed your bog? I’m designing/planning my own pond to build.

Hey Dan, You have done an amazing job out there, I was advised not to have terrapin and koi together. Did you face any issues with that? What's your experience like?

What climate is your winter? What do you do when it gets cold out? I live in Buffalo ny and I wanted to keep turtles in my pond but I’m unsure of what to do in the winter l. The pond doesn’t freeze over due to a heater

Can you put frogs in there

Do you have a mosquito issue

How can you tell it’s the same Turtle ?

Are you able to do a map turtle setup

Hi HI! i'm in need of ALOT of help right now and google isn't really helping me rn so yeah I could really use some advice right now. I've been seeing that my turtle's feces are a really dark green/black colour and I've now noticed these tiny red balls floating around in her water. I'm thinking its bladder stones but I'm really not sure and I'm so worried. I've had her for a little less than a year now and she has already had a respiratory problem I'm starting to think I'm doing a terrible job at this turtle parenting thing- I'm unable to make a vet appointment at the moment due to exams so what should I do in the mean time??? she's eating normally and hasn't had a change in behaviour or anything. She's still getting over the respiratory infection so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with that because I'm not seeing any yt videos anywhere on this and I'm just so scared. Can someone help please. Thank You

How much does it cost to run it electricity and water wise?
