W0W! Gabrielle ... I just spent an hour or more in Arizona.
Thanks for the visit. Beautiful.
I sure was wrong about where you live ...
I had you placed in Indiana!

I'm in vastly different territory, so my one piece of advice is to
double whatever filtration you think you need. I have a tiny pond (about
450 gallons) that's home to three adult red-eared sliders who will be
joined by three juveniles later this summer. I also have several
goldfish (feeders who became pets) and a quickly growing catfish.

For hiding spots, I placed flat rocks on plant holders. The main pump is
in a milk crate under more flat rocks. I used wood to edge the pond
since that's easier on the turtle's plastrons than stone or cement. The
turtles love to bask either on the wood or on their islands.

You can see my pond at www.clowder.net/cats/Turtles/pond2.html

There's a link at the bottom to my pondcam, which is on most daylight
hours.

I am now getting ready to build a pond for my turtles. They have been
living indoors, but are now huge and need the freedom. I live in
Cambridgeshire in the UK.
Can anyone provide me with any help or information on building a haven
for
my little fellas, and possibly point me in the direction of some good
sources?

Thanks
