Maybe, but probably not. I think you would waste a lot of money heating the pond, and risk the turtle climbing out in the winter.

I think your best bet would be to move him indoors to live or perhaps you could even trick him into hibernating somewhere cold in your house like the basement or a poorly insulated closet on an external wall.
