About Turtles 
For kids from10 to 100, who have ever wondered about turtles.
| ? | This small garden pond and enclosure, which houses a group of American box turtles, leads us to a world of turtles. Built in 1997 for Vincent, a desert box turtle, and Nicky, a river cooter, it provided a wonderful learning experience for me. It drew me deeper into a hobby I'd been involved with for 3 decades before the pond experience. The photo above is a decade old. The river cooter moved inside since then. Several box turtles live in the pond habitat during the summers. Click here to see a another view of the pond enclosure. A three-toed box turtle is visible at the far end, behind the juniper. Vincent is foraging in the pond. Just after the photo was taken, he popped to the surface with a worm in his mouth. Mmmmmm!
