...alarming problem in an established pond (approx) 5000 Gallons, Located in East Tennesse, During extreme dry season, we have had several snapping turtles occupy our pond. Is there any possible prevention or way to deal with them after arrival? Thank you so much for your assistance Jay



Hi Jay,

Oh great. Another apex predator. Get some help from your local Forestry Service or Animal Control Rep,
trap 'em and transport 'em out. They'll rip your fish to shreds and if you aren't experienced in handling them, they'll tear you up too!

Oh well. It could be worse. It could have been alligators.

Or hippos.
