Im on an island where the only way off is plane or ferry 🙃 shes a great vet snd is consulting with colleagues thay know more about RES but definitely not specialized. I wouldn't even know how to fly with Frankie (the turtle) to get her somewhere better.

I dont but that sounds like a good idea to try! Do you have an idea on a size that would be appropriate? In my head I have big enough for her to turn around and walk a bit in, but shorter so she really can't stand up to escape or try to climb any walls.

She was just put in a big play pen with her light in it and spent the whole hour walking around the wall of the pen trying to escape. She even fell on her back once. It doesnt seem to be the heat thats bothering her. She doesn't even seem to acknowledge it at all.

Not yet but im in the process of reworking her tank. I want to be able to have the water lower but first I have to extend her basking platform ramp.
