I can only speak from experience with my three juvenile C. flavomarginata (hatched May & June 2002). Although housed in shallow water for about the first year, they now have a vision tub, which is about 1/3 water with filter, 1/3 moist hide, and 1/3 rocky paths and basking spot. They wander about, spending some time in the water, but no more than about 25% of the day; they sleep in the moist hide. Eat mostly on land. I allow them to choose! They love the water but not exclusively! YMMV
