My big female was lying at the bottom of the tank, head hanging out, not moving, lifeless. Yanked her out, proceeded to resuscitation by pumping here back limbs, wherein water came out her behind and not her mouth.



Prodded her, and found she still had some life. Started to move limbs, slowly move. After an hour, she began to walk again.



Only suspect possible drowing due to a mating with a male I'd had in the tank, either do to getting caught on something or possible intake of water in the process.



Had her for four years now, and she's still alive, albeit a widow for life.
