Pics of Turtle Tanks!!??

I have had 2 turtles (I think they are African Helmeted Turtles) for approx 2-3 years and they haven't really grown much but recently have started!! I wondered does anybody have any pics of their tank set ups.....I'm thinking I need a bigger tank now and want to put water & land in it but am not very imaginative!!! Need some ideas!! I once tried woodchips but found it was soooo messy!!

Re: Pics of Turtle Tanks!!??

The top tank would be a suitable set up for a pair of african helmeted turtles...



I was just setting this one up so it is a bit bare, but you can add fake plants etc...

and this one... although too small for AHT's is a similar idea...



The substrate in the water half and on the land side is well washed play sand.

Thanks for the comments. I have a heater(300w) but i only use it when it's cold, cuz it's very expensive to keep it turned on all the time, besides where i live is not that cold anyways.
