This is an old aquarium that I have used for egg laying female muds for over twenty years. I have had striped, redcheek and white lipped mud turtle females nest in it over the years.
In this photo the corkbark is not next to the land area as it should be when a female is housed here--- I think I had some other young turtle in the tank when I took this photo.
The bottom of the land area had been filled with commercial bonsai soil, which is also a good egg laying medium, when this photo was taken. The larger pebbles that cover the bonsai soil are good at keeping the water from getting dirty but I found that they were not easy for the females to dig through and have since changed them.
I have used this same basic design in larger aquariums with good success.
