Other Turtle Discussion :: Weird story, possible question

[Starchick]

So last night I had a dream that something was horribly wrong with Napoleon. I squirted a bunch of Reptisafe into his water, then realized that nothing was actually wrong. It started out as a dream, and at some point I woke up without realizing it and actually put the Reptisafe in. It was probably about a teaspoon's worth. Is there any way that could hurt him if the water's already been treated? Today was water change day so that water's gone now anyway, but I'd just like to know if I should lock up my stuff to avoid any more sleepwalking attempts at turtle care.

No thats fine. I think that its up to you if you feel the need to lock things up. If I can figure out water changes while I sleep, I'll pass it on

What?! And miss the joy of stinky heavy manual labor? No way!

parasomnia takes on many fun forms. i've never actually sleepwalked, but i do talk in my sleep and have been known to beat up people and even cling to them for dear life and cry while i'm sleeping. i also remember how vivid the dreams are, how life like they seem sometimes has me questioning if it was really a dream or if it somehow really happened. it's amusing at times, but gets to be quite stressful.

a friend of mine's nephew did have a problem with sleepwalking, though. his parents had to lock him in his room at night. i don't particularly care for that method; if you have to take a late night trip to the bathroom it can get quite messy. so unless you have a bedroom + bathroom that you lock yourself in, and someone to let you out in the morning, i would suggest getting a liquor cabinet and locking the turtle's stuff in that overnight.

as for the other question, i don't know
