Haha, great news! Mom and Ashley got a contractor to build us a grotto at the backyard in our Johor house 🙂 Took a few weeks to complete as the workers had to resume work before and after rainy days.

Finally our beloved Red Ear Sliders have a bigger home! We don’t have to keep buying a bigger tank from now on.
Mom also wanted to put a Mother Mary statue.

All the kuras need is a bigger platform for them to bask, as they cannot be in the waters all the time.

We had a problem though: the water level was high enough and surrounding rocks low enough for the bigger turtles to possibly leave the pond if they wanted to. Case in point…

So as a temporary fix, we placed the fences and plants surrounding the grotto.

Here are some more pictures of our kuras in their new home:


Am so happy the kuras have a bigger, nicer home in our backyard now! 🙂
