Well,mine sleep in the water or on the basking dock.I don't know why,but that's just how they are.Oh,and yes they can sleep underwater,but they do have to come up for air every once in a while.Oh,and "blulite" one of my turtles have done that before it's been about a week since I've seen them do that,but sometimes he'll do that,and sometimes I'm afraid he's gotten stuck!LOL!
