So this morning, shortly after I turned the lights on in my Leo hatchling enclosure, I went to check on them. I peeked in and discovered Freckles, the ever upside down tortoise, was yet again on her back. This time she was in the water dish! This is a good time to point out to those newer than myself at tortoise keeping, that Tera cotta dishes save lives. She was struggling to turn herself back over and all the while thrashing her head in the shallow dish. I immediately reached in and rolled her over. The importance of this story is, don't risk those deeper reptile water dishes, ramp or no ramp.
Freckles is the little queen of roll overs and she could have drown in anything deeper because it is obvious she isn't good at turning herself back over. I really have to keep an eye on her
