i dug my own,10' long,6' wide at the widest,3 1/2' wide at the narrowest,and 3' deep at the deepest point.it's got 2 islands for drag out basking,too.i lined it with the thickest flexible liner that i could find,added 2 fountains,and added a pair of eastern painteds and a pair of muds.i throw in crawdads,grass shrimp,minnows,and mosquito fish every week or so.i try to keep plants in it,like bamboo,water lillies,etc;i replant as needed.i live in sc,so the turtles stay in the pond year-round.the only problem that i have is that my wife can't stand the chicken-wire fence i put up to cut down on turtles wandering off.i guess i could have worse problems,though.
