My Fluffy the western painted moved to his new 55 gallon home recently. I thought he'd freak out when he moved but he didn't really. His stack of rocks for basking was too short for the new tank & because he's an adult who loves to swim I wanted deeper water in the new tank but couldn't do it because the basking rock stack was too short.

Finally yesterday afternoon the new floating dock I'd mail ordered for him arrived, I thought he'd freak out but again he didn't. He freaked when we first put it in there so I put him on it & he jumped into the water as fast as he could. A little while later I slowly scooted him onto it via it's ramp & he still freaked but not so quickly.
By the time it was night I turned on the hallway light to check on him & in the dim light I could see him sleeping on his new dock. I guess that means he accepts it.

I love seeing them happy!
