General Care Discussion :: female acting strange

[blitz]

So today I noticed my female on the dock today after changeing the tank form a temporary 20 gal to permanent 90 gal 3 days ago

So my female was on the dock for half an hour then it started to stick her head in her shell a few times then started to walk around in circles
My male was also basking and wasn't doing that he was just still

Its a little bit hot in the house im not sure if it was the heat

Maybe she was just adjusting to the temperature. Do you have any temp readings?

[blitz]

I do have some temps but they changa alot in the morning the tank temp is 78 but in the afternoin its 85... I dont have a heater. For there dock I kinda got a ruff estimate by useing the water thermometer it said in the morning it was around 87 byt then later is said 98 so I turned of there lamp. I flet her when she started acting funny she flet warm. She is acting normal right now

I was referring to the basking temperature. 85 is a bit high for water temps. Can you post a picture of your setup?

[blitz]

Ok in the morning the basking temp was 87 then it later turned to like high 90s so around 87 so I turned of basking light I will try posting setup but im haveing trouble with new tank syndrome so its a bit hard to see

But i will try saying what I have. The tank was bought used it was always a turtle tank

90 gal with fuval 305
My basking dock is a coustom made its in the corner of tank its like a small triangle tank sliconed to the the tank it has sand in it, both turltes can fit their sizes are female 6" male 4"
Basking light is a 100 wat house light (have it off unless the house is cold)
There is no substrat right now but im buying some sand soon

She just went on the dock I without the lamp I will keep and eye on her

Sorry for errors is easy to make mistakes on mobile

Alright, let us know if there any issues. You might have to review how things are setup in the tank once you get a hang of the basics.
