Wow! I think this is the first time I've seen any pictures of your turtle Steve!

The pond is very cool! What is the material around it and on the basking area?

How old is Fred? He looks like he's turning melanistic!

I have posted my setup before (the PVC/tile basking area) as for pics of my turtles... they've been posted/uploaded before, but I'm not telling which ones they are. :)

Hmmm this is a very excellent/interesting idea!! Although I think I would miss seeing my guys swim around in their tank.
I build acrylic ATBAs.

How many gallons is that? And also does the plexi stop half way? Can he climb out and go over the right side? And also what lights do you have there?

Yes, we have had Fred for 19 years and he was big when we got him so he is definitely up there in age. He is really enjoying the new home...especially likes to watch the satellite TV!
