Hi does anyone know where I can buy a frt? I made a 300g temporary setup for the winter months and have a 12000g pond in my yard. They are my favorite species of turtles and I want to pay around 600-700$ for one. 1000 is a little to much give I spent a lot of money for what I have done already. Here's some pics of the pond. If you know where I can find one please tell me. Thanks, Ben

No offense but they need some pretty pristine water conditions, and the water temps in New York are going to be to cold even in summer.

In my indoor 300g aquarium the filtration is normally used for a 900g aquarium, also in my outdoor enclosure it gets 80 degrees fahrenheit in a part of the summer, but I may not have the guts to put him in my pond over the summer. Also off topic, you can negotiate with the person in NY selling the indian roofed turtles.
