Yes, I'd love an albino or two-headed... There's lots of unique turtles out there I'd love to keep sometime... Just don't want to put down a lot of money for a special one yet...

They're fiberglass fish ponds that I got from Lilypons Water Gardens in Maryland. They come in all shapes and sizes. The two that my turtles are in right now are 150 gallons each and 18" inches deep. The ponds last for 50 years and stand up on their own, on a patio or deck or anyplace on the ground. Very, very sturdy. Expensive, but sturdy.. MUCH better than those cheap plastic form ponds from Lowes or Home Depot. lol

The only time of the year when I handle them is when I'm transporting them indoors or outdoors for the winter or summer. Or sometimes when they need a little shell cleaning or need help getting some stuck shed shell scales (lol say that three times fast) They usually tolerate me fairly well when I handle them though.
