Hello all!
I have an adult RES that I adopted last September. She has adjusted well to better diet, proper heat and lighting. She has been as active as I expected an 8" turtle to be. This week, I moved her to a 75 gallon tank from the about 40 gallon tub she was in. She has a lot more swimming room, and a bigger basking area. She is all over the place! She has been more active than I have ever seen since I've had her. Her water temp is still about 76F, basking area stays between 85-90F. My crazy question is, Is she just happy with the bigger tank, or should I be concerned something is wrong? She is still basking and climbing in and out of the water often. She went from just chilling most of the time to really active, and almost constant begging.
Thanks! Michele
