Lazy turtle

[CJSTorts]

Our turtle has become incredibly lazy lately. He has a zoomed floating dock, that he loves to sit on. Well he has now starting sitting on the dock and using his front feet to maneuver himself around the tank while on the dock. Yesterday we gave him a treat and he maneuvers the dock over to it grabs it and then goes in the water. He reminds us of the people in the movie Wall-E, floating around on their little chairs lol.

[CJSTorts]

He can move around just fine and will swim around and do laps, the float just seems to be his preferred mode of transportation lol

He used to do that every time we came near, now he just waits to see if we are going to drop food. Then he floats himself over and dives onto the food lol

I have tried to get a video of him, but every time I try he either jumps off or just freezes lol. I guess he is camera shy.
