I had to take out the half-log I had on top of my enclosure's basking area yesterday. I put it in so my turtles would have a place to go under to get cool without getting in the water. But every since I put it in, the only use it gets is from my Southern who climbs on top to bask.

The reason I took it out is because whenever he got down, he would just jump, which means he missed the water a lot of times. His shell was getting all scraped and gouged, so I just decided to take it out. I didn't want to, because he loved it so much, but I couldn't take his daredevil antics.
