So you have a pool full of turtles with frogs to keep them fed.

My critter pool is creepy. I pump water out but there's still old pine straw, limbs and vegetation in the deep end. A snake was in it once. Once I saved a big turtle that must have drove into the pool It had to have been around 12 pounds. I took him to a lake. I wish that I didn't have a pool. Buying the house wasn't my idea. I don't want to pay to destroy the pool. I live in a suburban neighborhood but some nights it's hard to hear the TV because the frogs are so loud.

I thought you were talking about like a pond where you collected them. That sounds awful. I wouldn’t want snakes in my pool.

Good News…Bad News
Good News:
You won’t have to pay to destroy your “pool”
Bad News:
Sounds like you’ve now got a legitimate pond that most likely meets the EPA criteria as a Federally protected “Wetland “

What kind of snake?
I have a black racer that is often around the house. I saw it about a week ago, I hope it was eating all the cane toads that just hatched.

Why not just get one of those bolt down covers or make it a salt water pool, not much will live there.

Hopefully not one of these

It was a black snake I saw several years ago and never saw again. My pool doesn't freak me out but my yard is infested with thorny vines. I'm fighting a losing battle.

My sister has a great salt water pool. I used to do her taxes. She spent a lot of money on pool services. I'll just continue to live with my cement pond.

Could have been a cottonmouth since it liked the water.
I see the black racer a few times a year. It always runs off. It mostly comes for the lizards, of which I have tons of.
We have neighborhood ducks also. They live in the pond nearby, but they roam around the neighborhood most of the time. It's surprising how mean they are to each other. Anyone who talks about peaceful nature has never seen these ducks.

Is it anything like "Prarie-Dogging"?

Absolutely.
They’re completely synonymous and interchangeable terms for the same unfortunately urgent circumstance
