Funny Foot Kicking

honeybee Jan 27, 2005 12:17 PM

Does anyone's RES kick their back feet while basking? Tortuga has always done this. She'll be on her basking rocks all stretched out, and for no reason she'll kick her back legs a few times, like she's swimming. Is this turtle aerobics? She usually does it when I'm not looking, and stops once I look at her.

my franklin does it all the time. And when he's under water he brings his front legs over his head and vibrates them. They are definately fun pets to watch!
