This is an interesting story how i got what i have right now.

Well, I decided I was going to buy a small waterland tub just for nesting purposes. I liked the the land to water area. That means i could leave the turtle go in there during the summer. Holds about 18gallons of water so not to bad just for tempary place for the turtle to nest.

Well I ordered from a small at home business that deals with waterland and since it was close I drove to pic it up also prices were lower then any other place selling them. The bill came to around $135. So when i got there he said he had a problem. He made a mistake and was out of small waterland tubs. So he made me an offer. He gave me the medium waterland tub for no extra cost! I cant believe he did that. A medium waterland tub on his site costs $325. So I saved $190!!!!!!!! That is crazy!

Now the only problem is this thing is huge lol even for medium. Well since it does hold 65gallons I am going to keep the few small turtles I have in it. Obviously if you filled it all the way up with water this thing would hold alot more then 65gallons. It makes my largest turtle still look small in it. So here is the pics as is right now unsetup with my largest turtle(8inches), smaller adult and one dbt right at the 4inch mark. I will post again with it all finished later.

@DBT

Do you plan to put soil or something for the basking area on the other side?
