Don't worry everyone posts turtle pics here anyways. Sliders are a**holes hey. Mine always run over, my friend says oh look they're friendly as Speedy stands up in the corner and snaps at him. Nope!

[marisa]

haha yep! Mikey always likes to try and bite my fingers...but they do give off a "Friendly" look when they are constantly begging for food!!!

One thing I know for sure is that this guy can't wait to get out of his fairly small winter house and outside in his "pond" !!!

I'll second that I am going to build one. This will be my first one! Can't wait to see turtles swimming around! my yellow bellied is way nippier though. He is an ***!

I got really super lucky....I only have the one turtle so I was at a garage sale and someone had this 6 foot long x 1 1/2 deep x 4 feet wide heavy duty plastic childrens pool. Its not bendable plastic, but hard and thick....anyways they sold it to me for 20 bucks. In the summer I fill it with water, place a basking spot in the middle, and Mikey lives on our fenced in deck for 3-4 months. He *loves* it!!!! The only thing I would improve is making one end a bit deeper for him. I will hopefully have pics this summer as soon as its warm enough.

That is awsome Marisa. I am doing the same thing! Except I bought a pre formed pond liner. I am builing it "above" ground on our deck. I am building a box around it and painting it the same as the deck. Put a little garden fence around it to protect the dogs noses. Oh yeah it will have an earthy area for them to dig in. :D Can't wait!:D Tim

haha thats so cool! :D Get pics when its done!

Heres a pic of my angry turtle...My larger alligator snapper is a little camera shy and doesnt like to open his mouth for me.
