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.

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".

my tiny turtles do this too. and then they try to stand on their back legs XD
turtles: they like to keep in shape and do water aerobics.
