Hi,

I live in Central NJ and I’m considering adding an eastern musk turtle to my outdoor pond that I have had for almost 15-years. The pond is 3-ft deep at one end and about 1-ft deep at the opposite end. It also has a beach area that my existing Eastern Painted Turtles and NA Wood Turtles climb in and out of the pond. The pond is enclosed by a turtle-proof fence and the entire enclosed area is about 40ft by 20ft with about 50% water and 50% land. I would like to know if anyone keeps musk turtles in an outdoor pond all year long and does anyone keep them with other turtles. Any input or advice is welcome.
