I live in San Diego. I googled horse trough and found every kind of trough and stock tanks I needed. The place was only 5 minutes from my office. Try these guys if they are close. They will order the big ones and it only takes 4-5 days. If you don't have a truck barrow one and save yourself the shipping. As a bonus every girl that works at that place is drop dead gorgeous.

I don't let any of my varanids outside. They are simple to fast to smart and to expensive to risk it. I keep torts outside during the summer but the risk reward factor is always an issue. Raccoons are a capable predator and I have lost many pond turtles to those damn things. I could see them killing a cold varanid in no time.
