Right now I have my turtles in a long(under the bed type) Rubbermaid container. I have a series of basking rocks and hideouts for them, plants when I can get them. I just have the water deep enough for them to go under and swim around. It worked out great for awhile as the sun would come in most of the day and made it very nice.(They spent most of the summer outside and I brought them in at night.) But the season has changed FAST and we've had a week of snow and a cold blast. I can't really put a heater in low level water. I do have a big metal, clip on light that I put a warming bulb in and I switch it with a UV Repto Light and at night I use the red for warming. I may have to put them back to an aquarium for now.

Oh, tip for everyone...I saw the big metal, clip on type light fixture at a Petco for $39.00 and you can get them at the hardware store for under $10. I had one from awhile back, used to put a warming light in it for my old Lab. Anyway they work great for turtles too. Anyway check out the hardware section for turtle supplies too and save some cash. Thanks for the input everyone!
