help res is restless diving
Posted: Thu Oct 12, 2017 1:58 pm
My turtle will crawl out of the water and dive/fall back in repeatedly for hours. I don't know what to do as I don't think this is normal behavior.
I have a 6 inch male res. we found him on a road miles from any water. He has been set up in a 75 gallon aquarium about 1/2 filled with water. I have a water filter, heater, heat lamp and UV lamp set up. He's been in his current set up about 3 weeks. He was checked by a vet who gave him a clean bill of health. I'm feeding him plants, live fish and worms and pellets. I just don't know what is wrong. Any advice? Has anyone had their turtle do this?
