Before you get started. The water capacity of the pond should be 10 gallons per inch of the chelonian's shell. So if the carapace length of your turtle is 7 inches, the pond should be able to hold at least 70 gallons of water. I recommend using a prefabricated hard shell pond.

A very popular stock tank is the 300 gallon rubbermaid which is a 5' round poly tanks 2' deep. It's not to say that a 2' X 6' long tank wouldn't make a real nice turtle environment.

Fences can be hit and miss with turtles, and some species.
