I think every strange thing (or something I thought was strange) freaked me out when I first got my turtle. Sometimes it still does. I think it's because I was raised primarily around cats my whole life so having a turtle is something completely different. I could tell you about all the different behaviors I've witnessed in cats and decode them but when it comes to turtles you have to learn what their set of behaviors are.
It's okay to be concerned. Pretty soon you'll understand your turtle's behaviors more and nothing will worry you.
