Yesterday, I dropped by the local pet store, and got an extra basking dock, plus a good sized piece of driftwood.
Typhoon was pretty cute, she figured out right away that she could hide behind it, cause I have it angled on the tank wall (and anchored very well) for them to use as a hiding place. I like it better than the tunnel they just out grew (tunnel has been removed of course). She kept going up to it, swimming away, approaching it, over and over again until she figured out she could use it as a resting spot too. She practically loves the thing.
Now, what was Hurricane's reaction? OH HELL NO!!! She wouldn't go anywhere near it for a few hours. Then, I walk by the tank and she's sitting on it like it's her best friend. The way I have it in the tank, they can sit on the very top of it and look out for the surface while still feeling hidden.
And, they are sharing it too. I love when they share stuff. Usually, the only other things they will share are the basking docks and the vine. Everything else has been fluttered over, and each object in the tank belongs to either one of them. They can never seem to figure out who owns the filter... lol XD
I like driftwood cause it's gonna lower the pH, which will be helpful against the infamous turtle pee. Not that I thought the pH was super high, but I know it wasn't the most enjoyable thing in the world, even with the filter.
