This might be considered a silly question but I really am wondering, how do fully aquatic turtles sleep in your tank since they are always in water???
Turtle question...?

my fly river turtle would burrow under the sand and just sleep LOL. I rarely see him going up for air when he's in this resting stage.
hey guys heres another question , could i get away with having a baby turtle about 2 1/2'' round in a 55g swiming around with tropic comunity fish if i lower the water level and add a small plastic lilly pad thet it can climb on????
painted turtles are fully aquatic, although not solely aquatic like a few species. not fully aquatic would be semi-aquatic, and that is something more like a wood turtle that needs half land and half water. mine just sleep on the bottom eyes closed, head and legs pulled in to the shell mostly, sometimes they sleep on the driftwood right under the surface of the water. in general you should assume that whatever is in the tank with a turtle, will become turtle food, and a turtle tank should be designed around the turtle, not around fish and then modified to accomidate a turtle.
so iguess it would be to wise to just put a turtle in there uh? but what about the size of the fish would the turtle still be able to take a down if they r somewhat bigger then the fish???
the turtle will outgrow them and you would be VERY suprised at what they can catch, kill , and eat. i know i have been on multiple occassions.
Thanks dude on the info i really wanted them mostly as a eyecatcher in my tank something that would stand out like a turtle but now i guess i definetitly have to rethink it and find somethink elsereptileguy2727 said:
