He's just... floating... but everything in. Should I be concerned?

They're excellent at floating. Does he still bask, swim, eat and poop?

Okay, I was just so confused because I've never seen any of them do it that way. Per your questions, Yes to swimming and pretty sure yes to basking. They were fed recently so aren't due yet; I'll double-check that when I get home... I've never seen them poop before.... ever. In all their life :shock:

How long have you had them? When they're hatchlings, they don't float that well despite being excellent swimmers. Since mine have grown, they can easily float like in the picture.
