So, I'm talking on my cell phone. I walk outside to look at my pond (which borders my tort enclosure) and notice that Doub's is in his enclosure face down halfway in his water bowl~! It's a large drip thing for a planter, and his back end is sticking up off the outside with legs dangling and his head and front legs are under the water ( legs and head just sticking out almost like he was basking)~! I'm thinking OMG~! He's dead~! I walk over and call his name and he lifts his head, looks at me and puts his head back in the water. I told him he was being an idiot, and he got out of the water and walked away.
I guess he just wanted to nap in a cool spot, 'cause it is warm today in Sunnyvale. We've been having unseasonably cool weather lately.
Scared me to death I tell you~! Of course now, I wish I had my camera with me, 'cause he really looked so relaxed there, I guess he was basking. He'll just have to do that with his head above water from now on.
