I have one of the Zoo Med floating logs, the biggest one they make right now, and I've found that Ezekiel has made it his bed. Once the lights turn off at 8, he'll go directly there and get ready to sleep. My other turtles just sleep randomly, never the same spot, but every single night, Ezekiel sleeps in his log.

Just curious if anyone else has funny little things like that that their turtles do.

Spot never had sleeping quarters - he always sleeps randomly. I love it when he just hangs in the water, totally limp, with just his back toes touching the bottom.

Napoleon doesn't do the same thing every night, but he has a few favorite spots. For the last few weeks, he's been sleeping up on his basking dock out of water, which Hercules does most of the time too. This past week, Napoleon's been wedging himself in among his plants to sleep. He also likes sleeping on top of his filter, with just his front legs on the basking dock.

And on special occasions, when the bottom suction cups of the basking dock come detached, he wedges his shell between the bars and the wall and sleeps with all four legs dangling.

Mikey always naps on his dock throughout the day. I'm not sure what he does at night anymore though.

Groucho and Tuck sleep on the plants, they each have one but they share the bigger one, they are so cute, I have the log by zoomed also but they use that to bask and swim through I haven't ever caught them sleeping in it, I love the way they stretch out when basking, and move thier back feet around, my husband thinks I am nuts, but when he thinks I can't hear him he talks to them,
