I recently celebrated World Turtle Day in a big way by constructing this massive pond for our Red Eared Slider and Mississippi Map Turtle. Some of you may might remember pictures of my old pond (which was still nice) but putting the minimum for just one turtle. It was around 50 gallons.
And here's the new pond! I can't get an exact volume of water because it's such an odd shape but from what I've found online it's between 150 gallons and 180 gallons. Thanks to my good friend Ryan for helping get it from my deck to my basement lol.
And here's some pictures of the build.
And the two turtles calling this home.
