General Care Discussion :: Turtle floats upside down... but not dead :)

[ss18]

Turltes are SO funny. One of my turtles will stand against the glass side and flip itself on it's back and just float for a few seconds and slowly sink. It doesn't do it very often, It just cracks me up when i see it. it looks like it's having fun and playing. other than that there is nothing wrong.

Anyone else have turtles that do funny things like this?

one of my turtles will swim in circle backwards. it's kinda funny to watch until it runs into the glass. i would think that would hurt, lol.

mine used to go up on the dock and do backflips off of it. they'd do it over and over for at least 10 min every time.

my turtle would climb on his house then sit there for a while and then jump into the rocks (on land) and then do it again.

mine just go to the top of their cascade filter and jump off into this little area between the rocks. its like it jumps into a tunnel. they have never missed, even though the hole is just the size of the turtle
