LOL! Whatever floats your boat, I suppose!

Some younger painted turtles like to sleep "standing up" on their basking dock. I caught my baby painted turtle ("Binky"; now deceased) sleeping like this many times.

Very sweet. I have a painted that goes into a similar postion amid the plastic leaves of his plant. He's ramrod straight with just his nose sticking out of the water.
