| RE: Turtle Pond
I am not expansa but I can answer your questions. Follow the links in his sig to Aust turts and frogs and carettochelys.com, they are both good turtle websites. Mondo grass does go well as an aquatic plant. We have used it for fish in the past and had no probs. You could always use ribbon weed in the pond (Val. sp.) and your turts will eat it. If you are getting hatchy turts meg, they are best raised indoors for the first couple of years.
There are a few good books around, but some of them are out of print and are incredibly expensive. There is a good literature link the carrettochelys.com page but if you can get your hands on:
Cann, J. 1998 Australian Freshwater Turtles, Beaumont Publishing, Singapore.
Cann, J. 1978 Tortoises of Australia, Angus and Robertson, London.
Goode, J. 1967 Freshwater tortoises of Australia and New Guinea, Landsdowne Press, Melbourne.
The last 2 books there are pretty sc**** these days, and can be quite expensive to buy but worth a look. It really depends what kind of book you want.
