Turtles
The turtles that we commonly remove, are the “Common Snapping Turtle”, “Soft Shell Turtle” and the “Red Ear Sliders” … all of which cause large and substantial losses to any fishery or fish populations, and are more than capable of breaking underwater lighting fixtures on ponds with fountains in them. If you are having a problem with any reptile species … whether in Tulsa ot another city, town or county in Oklahoma … contact us. Thank you.
