Nice-looking RES. My RES does the same rhumba when I put my fingers on his carapace, especially if he's got any scutes to shed. :D

Very cute :)

TartarugaVerde, I don't know if it's something they need, but part of the basking area will always be in the water if the need to scratch.

@marisa - rhumba HAHAHAHAHAHAAH

@steve - thanks for your input and i will take in consideration for my next project.

@joel - i think Spiky knows that i can 'help' or is just getting used to it... Spiky was scratching the acrylic to get my attention and after i scratched its back for a minute... he went back in the water....

Lol i tried scratching Cody's shell today because he keeps scratching it on his dock. He didn't seem as excited as your turtle, he hid in his shell and then ran to the other corner of the tank :lol:
