Large Snapper Housing

I'm looking for ideas and pictures of tank and pond set-ups for larger snapping turtles. Filtration info would also be great.

i keep my large snappers that i got from lousiana in a 300 gal. rubbermaid and a 9' diameter pond. a lid is a good idea in case the rain raises the water level and they can and will climb out. i dont filter the water but do 100% water changes when its dirty. try this link for a good homemade filter-http:/forum.kingsnake.com/snappingturtle/messages/787.html

Thanks Steve. I like the filter. You look kinda nervous in that picture, like you're about to lose a hand.
