Hello again! I was wondering what my turtles are doing when they sit still and look like they are taking deep breaths. There back legs look to be moving back and forth as they breathe and stare. Also here is a picture I captured today as I assume my baby was yawning.

I've never seen my little guys do that, but that's a cute pic! I suppose if the humidity is high, eating and pooping is normal, everything is good.

Mine can sit for hours in the same spot just staring into space....just being turtles. That is one beautiful looking baby you have. Going to be a real beauty when she grows up.

Thank you for the feedback. I figured it was a nervous thing because I hover over them a lot and talk to them.
