Is he really trying to "climb" out of the tub??

Yes and he did.

[RedSidedSPR]

He woulda had to just drop... Right?

[guidofatherof5]

Yes, onto his pillow and blanket.

[RedSidedSPR]

For some reason that made me smile.

Good. I was wondering much of a drop a big turtle can sustain... Theyre not exatly graceful...

[guidofatherof5]

These turtles are fearless. I have to make sure the basement door is closed as he will simply tumble down the steps.
These guys are tougher then nails. Obstacles are meaningless.

[RedSidedSPR]

Awesome. They can't "tuck" themselves in their shell very far can they? So that would be bad...

Over the last couple of days I seen VP(vanishing pattern) and Cherry-on-top cuddling.
From what I've seen I don't think I will brumate VP(female T.radix). I haven't seen a lock up but will just assume
it has happened.
They even took a bath together.
I wonder if there were some water sports going on.

You need a web cam in the snake room Steve. There's people on here that would pay-to-view.

Look what I found hiding in one of the big enclosure support beams.
This is one of Speckle's babies. The beam is 6.5 feet long.
I've tried baiting the little scrub out but so far it's not cooperating.
The little punk is glad to grab the food but refuses to come out in the open.
At least she's eating.

[RedSidedSPR]

You mean you can't get her out? That's not In the cage right? Red got in a situation like that, and food worked, but I didn't let him grab it until he came out more and he came out....
