in a response at the bottom of this forum titled trouble with baby res written by dsgnGrl, she writes that floating can be "signs of a respritory infection of a gastro-intestinal problem" but i have also been told that floating (while sleeping or not) is instinct because turtles in the wild do this to avoid predators, unless they are in a large group of a bunch of turts and are EXTRA cautious........ which one is true? the respritory infection theory, or just being cautious theory? thanks in advance, kevin
