Small turtle pond ideas

[Rknowles92]

Hi, I'm looking at getting some turtles next weekend at Repticon. Probably pink bellied sidenecks or spotted turtles. Can I see some of your outdoor set ups? I was thinking of grabbing a cement mixing tub and just put it in the ground.

Natural as possible and outdoors please.

Lowes and Home Depot sell smallish pre formed plastic ponds.
Just dig a hole and stick them in the ground and landscape around them.
Maybe a box filter with a small fountain for water movement.
Don't forget to make an island for basking.
I'm in south Florida and I have 3 large ponds. But I only have fish in them.
