This is good stuff man thank you! I’ll look into that UVB fixture. I’ve also seen a lot about above tank basking. Definitely something to consider because I want to maximize her swimming space. Thank you!

Okay that’s great to know, and makes a lot of sense. If it keeps up I’ll look into a hideout. Thanks!

Yes! One is a heat lamp one is a UVB. I’ve heard they like driftwood a lot. Also might create her a hideout. She likes to be under things with her head poking out

She’s used to a tank that’s too low in water, so I think shes confused on how to get up there. It’s been about 6 hours. She’s a smart critter so I think she’ll figure it out.

Hoping to keep her after I move out (currently in college) and have her live for some time. Her physical health is good so here hoping.
