More changes... Like the creek idea and Piggley likes it to. But the driftwood wedged in-between? Did not feel safe if jumped on from the top , it's high. Tried a solid bridge connecting the two docks and Piggley hated it ! Blocked his visibility. Hope first picture I post . Removed and just for now used some small branches , made like a tree fall in creak but little above the water. Also can be a new hang out and or a bridge. Piggley now can swim all the way through the creek and the logs do not block his line of sight or way. His driftwood is back on bottom where he sleeps in sometimes. He loves it even more !
I'm different than some , I do not keep my turtles in a quiet room away from traffic. Always have next to my chair upfront and always worked for me. For some reason I find my RES's like to watch TV more than other breeds. I do offer several hiding spots if needed. My chair is one foot from tank and my hand always hanging over the tank. I find we build a trust fast this way , at least with my RES's. This allows me to be more observant , to there needs and wants , to analyze // parent observation's are key to me. Guess you can say working on an academic degree in turtles. This is my way , for me only , but may work for some of you. Here's some pic's of the temporary log's , will find better logs down the road if Piggley continues to enjoy it.
Think Piggley wants to be on a track team , always swimming through the creek building up his legs. Just love it !
