She's does this every night normally after I'm home from work (I notice because she's in the same room as my tv now). I sped the video up when she was swimming around but she did this probably twice in 5 minutes. Sorry for the shakey cam but I had to zoom in from the sofa lol

My turtle does this sometimes as well in my pond, I don't think it's a big deal.

Turtles aren't the smartest creatures, and we simply might be seeing this here.

lol - Tomi does the same thing sometimes. I just tell myself it's fun for him. hahaha.

My turtle loves to do this... I have just a suction-on basking dock with a ramp on one end. He likes the climb up the end with no ramp and then slide down the ramp part lol. My bf says hes "practicing his escape".

haha mine do it too! One does it more than the other. Raina will do it over and over..sometimes there isn't much basking getting done! Shortt, thats pretty funny how she used the ramp in the most difficult way possible to get up lol!

turtles: they like to keep in shape and do water aerobics.
