My res turtle just turned 1 year
He's a happy big boy
And he also enjoys walking around my apartment. After i turn on his UVB-UVA bulbs etc and i feed him, he stays a bit to bask and then he goes crazy in the water and tries to escape, i then take him out of his tank and he start marathon-ing around my room, then he goes exploring the rest of the apartment. It's not him begging for food, because he is fed (he also has salad and/or cuttlefish bone to munch on in his tank), he does have places to hide in the tank, away from everything if he wishes and he likes to bask mostly in the evening. He doesn't quiet down until i let him take a stroll. After he's done walking the hides under the bed and sometimes falls asleep or he sits slightly under the edge of the bed and looks out from there admiring my dresser
I really hope it's good for him, going on the premise that he knows bests what he's in the mood for
He's fine, energetic, eats well, basks, so i do hope he will be good in the future too (oh, he has been doing the escape part since he was about 3 months old, although we changed tanks, design, etc etc).
Here's a little video of him going crazy in the tank, not the best quality, but you get the idea
