lately i keep looking at my 65 and 3.5 inch turtle, thinking he loosk cramped. (cramped in a 65, yea i know haha) well i keep dreaming of having a 300 gallon stock tank "pond"

anyone else have any ridiculous ideas?

Well, the video of that giant acrylic tank has put bad ideas into my head

i want 4 full grown turtles in a 600gal tank. the tank would look like an apartment and the turtles would be called roj, howard, leanord, and shelldon. and yes, this is a reference

Hah! I love it!

I think about it all the time! I just bought and apartment but I can't wait to buy a house!

haha thats is sooo funny. such a good show.

and steve - yes i love that tank, the only i dont like is that its only a foot deep. the tank i have now is 2 feet and my turtle seems to like it, but i think a foot and a half is best. but yes, i love his tank

i wish i could afford it XD

I want a turtle sun room. A circular room, with at least one wall/part of the ceiling glass like in a green house so I can let in fresh air and real sunlight. I want an indoor pond in the center of this room, built into the floor, with real plants- potted or in areas built into the floor, and sitting areas all around so I can just sit in there and watch my turtles, fuss over my flowers, read, etc. And either a waterfall or stream like effect on one wall for water to come in, and a stream going outside flowing downhill through a garden into a sister outdoor pond that's either the same size or bigger, and a hidden pump/filter room to cycle the water back inside.

I have wanted this since I was little.

No idea on gallonage, it's a little too grandiose to figure out those little details.

that sounds so beautiful! As I read this, I could just picture that in my head. Thats a wonderful thing to want Biteybits

Thanks! I never told anyone before

Well considering i have a 300gallon stock tank and I dont find it ridiculous lol. I have my future plans set when i get a house. Im going to do the exact same designs as my friend and build enclosures all around outside.

The 2 times ive been to his house it almost brings a tear to my eye. It is just so amazing the habitats he built. Aquatic turtles and box turtles all in one

you posted picks of those habitats b4, they are so cool. but how deep do those ponds get?

I think its only like a foot deep only maybe a little more. So it safe for the box turtles. He doesnt hibernate them in there. He uses a giant waterland tub to winter them in his basement.

how many does he have? does he ever get babies?

I forget how many turtles he has alot, yep he gets alot of babies and he gives them away for free. You must come to his place, he will not ship. The one user on here(choob99) went to his house and got some hatchling painteds.

Oh my the habitats at his house truly are amazing!! I wish I had enough property to do the same thing, you have to see it to believe it all! Fantastic place and if any of you get to PA you should check it out, it is something to marvel at! By the way the babies that I got from him are doing great!
