Just a quirk I noticed: ever since I moved Mello into a bigger tank, she has stopped basking. :\

Not that she stopped from the beginning-- in the first hour that she was acquainted with her tank, she climbed onto the dock to bask for a few minutes. But ever since then (3 days ago) she's never basked again.

Any idea why? Or something I did wrong?

still getting used to the new set up. it takes more than an hour

Put something around the end of the tank where the basking area is. Perhaps your turtle needs more privacy.

rsour: Please read my post more carefully. I said it's been three days... now four days.

Marisa: That might be the case. I'll try that..

It takes some turtles more then 4 days for them to get used to their setup maybe even a couple of weeks. Just give him some time. Also try putting food up on the dock.
