Just thought it would be interesting to see how other turtles like to sleep. Sheba sleeps hanging onto something, vertical, with her left back leg dangling, and her right back leg tucked in her shell. This is her usual habit. Does anyone have a turt that likes to sleep the same way all the time?

Mine sleeps tucked in, in the plants
Some on the dock

Here's Jo, he likes to sleep in the plants that hold him up

Both my turts are like me, constantly shifting around. Though my female RES also looks like she is biting in her sleep... I'm worried she dreaming about taking a nip at my finger ;)

I didn't vote either way, because I find him hanging on to things, sleeping suspended in the corner of the tank and on the bottom of the tank. :) I guess he can't make up his mind!
