Hi, could you tell me, are you heating your pond? I have 2 YBS but have not as yet built them a pond as I may have to rehome them. I only took them as a temporary measure from someone who was going to dump them

no heating in pond but hoping to build a deeper one so they can hibernate naturally

Do you know how deep it has to be? I live in the south so it doesn't often get really really cold here.

The Terrapin Tank is a good place for all your info as the weather is a bit cold here was told that pool had to be 3 ft min depth for them to stay out all the time and my pool at the moment is 2ft 6inch so got to go a bit deeper but going to settle them in first before hand then introduce them to the pond.
