I am in the process of making a water Lilly pond. It will be 5x5x2 ft. It will have about 6 lilies. When I went to the pond store to buy another Lilly I saw that they had some turtles in the pond. It is not much bigger than what I have. Is it practicle to have a turtle or two in this sized pond? I have a pump and pressure filter rated for 700glns if there is filtration needed. I am also worried about raccoons. There have been some seen in the area so I am sure they are around. In addition to a sunning rock would a koi castle help make a he turtle happy and safe? If it is not a good idea I can let it go and just have a Lilly pond, but if I could give a turtle a nice home in addition that would be great. Please advise.
