Yes Curtis id be happy to send pics. I have had some problems posting them on here however if you sent me and email address I find it much easier to post them there. I have an approximate fenced in enclosure L shape about 20 feet x 10feet and the same the other way. In that enclosure I have a 2ft x18 inch oval preformed pond 24 inches deep. the bottom 18 inches is muck that is rooted with cattails. The other pond is a preformed rubber maid 4ftx4ftx4ft and is filled with rooted mud all but the top six inches. The third pond is a liner pond approx 10ft by 12 feet. In the middle it used to be 4ft deep but ive let it naturally fill with leaves and other debris causing it to be only about 2 foot deep now. The outer sides all have rooted plants. I have never lost a spotted turtle in the winter here in cold ass michigan. I keep the big pond aerated and all three ponds have a disc de-icer in the middle to allow gases to escape. All the three ponds have spotted hibernating in them every year depending on personal preference.This year I decided to keep six females indoors but there are still six other females and about 6 to 7 males out there. Again give me an email address and ill send summer and winter pics
