Thats great to hear Leon, so glad he came home. I hope he's smart enough to never want to leave again.
We had turtles when I was a kid, they had an you beaut enclosure underneath the back stairs of the house that partially consisted of an old enamel bath tub (excelelnt condition, wish I had it today).
Every spring it was a "count the turtles" thing because every so often one of them wouldn't wake from their winter hibernation ... or would try escaping. lol
The "psych" ward of a certain hospital in Brisbane (not to get anyone in trouble) has a fabulous turtle pond, it has about 8 turtles in it last I sawm including a coupel of fairly big ones. The "guests" can sit on a big padded bench and watch them through a nice big window .... sunny, with shade on the pond, nice overhanging ledges that the turtles can swim through and/or hide underneath, and a bunch of fish too. VERY peaceful and relaxing to watch, and apparently it does the guests a world of good to enjoy the view.
Before anyone asks I was a visitor, but I was there every day for about 3 weeks visiting someone, spent a lot of time watching the turtles.
