dont panick, from the looks of the board you just got this guy a day or so ago.



ive owned quite a few reptiles. when their in a new place they always act diffrent at first. ive had ball pythons be nice for the first few days, then become very sippy for the rest of their lives.



1. how deep is the water your turtle is in?

they dont need an ocean to swim in. when their babys like this if the waters deep, even if the have a landing they can get pooped swiming around in it. it should be deep enough where they can reach the surface by just standing on the hind legs.



whats the temp, what have you been feeding him?

does he have a landing spot, and i hiding spot under water? you can use a pvc elbow. you can get one from home depot.
