Carlos is so funny, he "voodoo's" his rocks at the bottom of the tank. He moves his front paws fast then stop for a second and repeats. Looks like he's voodooing them LOL : ) Is this normal? I know he is trying to get some yummy stuff to come off the rocks but it's funny to watch! :lol:

My turtle used to flutter at carrots! Usually it's either a sign of aggression or a mating thing... either way kinda strange to direct it toward rocks lol. Sounds funny!

My RES does the same thing, only with certain rocks. He also spins them around and nips at them sometimes.

I feel so.... normal. My turtles only flutter at each other. Never rocks...

This isn't the funniest I've seen/heard. I once saw a video of a person's RES that fluttered at the on/off switch to the chord to the lamp fixture.
Phryne - Japanese bobtail, 11 y.o.
Hurricane - RES, approx. 19 y.o., 7.00in. long
Typhoon - RES hybrid, approx. 19 y.o., 8 in. long
Sadie - RES, approx. 30+ y.o., 11.5in. long
Sophie - Colombian red tail boa, 15 y.o., 5 ft. long
