Looks nice.. :)

Ummm I don't see a heater in there though. How do you maintain the water temp? What size tank is it and what size are the turtles?

i dont have a heater right now but when the water gets too warm i add cold water to even it out. it is a ten gallon tank, and the turtles are both about 2 to 2 and a half inches. i know its small but its all i can afford right now.

A water heater is 5-10 bucks... local stores are usually over priced, see if they'll pricematch. Also the water level is too high for my comfort...

I'll second the water level. It's great for swimming, but watch out. Turtles love to escape.

I recommend a screen top over the basking area.

It looks nice, but is the UVB light on the right? If so, is it a coil lamp? If it's a coil lamp, it may be too far away from the basking platform. How far away is it?

Does look nice, be careful with the gravel, they may try and eat it.
