Sore neck?

[CACAdmin]

I spotted my turtle in a deep sleep in a weird position on the underwater shelf in his tank. I snapped a picture and the flash didn't even rouse him.

Do you think he's going to wake up with a kink in his neck? (I know I would if I slept with my head twisted to one side. :spinny: )

[Ursus sapien]

happy looking little thing, stiff neck and all

The only time he isn't happy, it seems, is if I let him run around on the balcony (solid concrete so no chance to escape) and then go to pick him up again. I then get hissed at. :laugh: (I think he likes to explore... something I can only let him do once in a while now that the weather is warm enough).

Do you know any good turtle chiro's? :laugh:

:laugh: He seems no worse for wear today. Obviously, his cervical vertebrae are much less susceptable to misalignment than that of humans. I'm thinking he must have fallen asleep watching something.

I'm thinking the fish are glad he's snoozing... great shot!

:laugh: Snoozing or not, he's too lazy to chase them so they're not afraid of him. They even try to eat food right out from under his nose.:rolleyes:
