RES only wants to dig in and sleep
Posted: Fri Apr 26, 2013 4:28 pmI have a one year old RES, most likely female, who today decided on her turtle walk that she just wanted to dig in the dirt and go to sleep. She loves hiding when I let her out but today she seems a little different. I didn't want to leave her outside so I got a smaller tank and filled it with moist wood chips and let her dig in. I can see her through the glass and she is just zonked out. I have a 30 gallon tank with clean, heated (75 degree) water, plenty of hiding places, and a great basking rock heated by UVB bulbs. Is this just a normal behavior that I haven't seen because she has never been exposed to a good digging spot? I don't think she is gravid. Thanks for your help!
