If it's been one day, I don't worry about it. Seems like they're all moody this winter.

LOL Oh dear.

It's not the first time I've noticed it since Sheldon became melancholy. Good news is - she's still basking. Should I be worried?

I thought it was Shelly now? I'm so confused! And waiting on Steve's reaction. :-)

Sheldon is a turtle of many names - Shelly, Sheldon, Sheldora the Magnificent, Bugga Boo, Schmoopsie Poodle, - the list is endless.

As for Steve, Yes definitely waiting to see what he says. ;)

Thanks. A little less melancholy this am. Seems like the afternoon is when she's really mopey but that could be because she's been basking all day and is ready for a nap. *shrugs*

Well as this website knows and certainly my vet - Sheldon never does anything halfway. If we're going to have a fungus - we're going to have it for 6 months. If we're going to have a potty problem - it might as well be from eating my basking platform.

Hence my overly concerned nature. Worry wort that's me. :P

lol ah turtles.

Caught mine on her basking platform after her light went out. She gave me a look when I picked her up to check her shell. Must have been baking a long time - lots of flaky stuff - we're getting so close to scutes coming off - I can feel it. :)
