I can't get over how cute my baby turtles are when the sleep. SO ADORABLE.
And since I love pet pictures, I figured I'd make a sleeping turtle thread!

If you have pictures of your sleeping turtles, post them
I hope to see many cute turtle naps :D

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

(I'm working on getting pictures of Stoli and Jager sleeping. Every time I try, they sense the camera is there so they wake up and glare at me. So I don't try to often because I feel bad waking them up.)

It is so precious to see them sleep!
Bowser falls asleep while basking sometimes, and I've even gotten a video of it where she was twitching a bit (dreaming?).

On the old dock:

And on the new dock:

Image

So tired after a long day of swimming and knocking things over in the tank!
Image

And her sleepy look when she's trying to keep an eye on you but just wants you to leave so she can go back to sleep!

Image

I can't ever get a photo of Bowser asleep at night, but she always sleeps on the underwater ramp part of her dock.
