General Care Discussion :: Why the turtle trying to bite the water?

[steve]

Any other symptoms?

[k9ck024]

No other symptoms. Looks healthy to me.

It is getting frustrating. I moved the turtle to different tank and it still does the same every 3-5 seconds for 5-15 mins

[steve]

So it'll stop after a few minutes? And it starts up once he goes into the water?

[k9ck024]

No he's always in the water but stop once in a while

[steve]

So when does he bask and for how long?

[k9ck024]

The tank where it is right now doesn't have a platform to bask. The other tank does have a platform but it rarely goes on there

Your turtle needs a place to rest. Could just be its tired. I have fake plants at the waters surface that my turtles spend lots of time in just resting.

It's not about the platform. Before I moved to its new place, there was a platform and it still try to bite the water
