Construction of turtle pond

1. Juvenile turtle pond

Those who are just born to less than 10 grams are called young turtles. The area of the pool is 2 square meters ~ 8 square meters, rectangular, and the depth is 0.3 ~ 0.4 meters. The water depth is kept at 0.1 m ~ 0.15 m, the bottom of the pool is covered with fine sand, and the pool is covered with a shade canopy 1-1.5 m higher than the top of the pool. A rest table with a width of about 20 cm should be built at both ends. Build a 30 °slope at the intersection of the rest table and the water surface to facilitate its up and down.

two。 Juvenile turtle pond

The young soft-shelled turtle is called a soft-shelled turtle weighing about 10 ~ 100 grams. The area of the pool is 20 square meters ~ 200 square meters, the depth of the pool is 0.6 ~ 0.8 meters, the water depth is kept at 0.3 ~ 0.4 meters, the bottom of the pool is covered with fine sand 8 ~ 10 cm, and there are rest tables at both ends of the pool.

3. Adult turtle pond

A soft-shelled turtle weighs more than 100 grams. The area is 30 square meters ~ 300 square meters. Since individuals weighing 100g ~ 1500 g or more belong to adult soft-shelled turtles, several more ponds should be built and raised separately according to size. The depth of the pond is about 1.5 meters, the water depth is between 0.8 meters and 1.2 meters, and the bottom of the pool is covered with fine sand 5 centimeters thick.

4. Pro-turtle pond

The area is 50 square meters to 300 square meters, the pool depth is 1.6 meters, and the water depth is about 1.2 meters. The bottom of the pool is covered with 25 centimeters of fine sand, and spawning grounds are set on one side or around the pond, accounting for about 1/4 of the pool area and 20 centimeters above the water surface. The pool should be strong, anti-escape and leak-proof.
