Thanks Maggie...Trinket is acting a lot more normal today. I guess he was just having fun sleeping.

:Every once in a while my turtle will fall asleep on the basking spot after the lights go off (they enjoy the warmth)...its normal...signs of illness are: lack of apetite even when the water is at a good temp e.g. 72-75 (my turt loves 75)...sneezing, mucous, closed eyes, coughing

::Trinket (my baby turtle) has been basking more frequently. This was not really a concern until today when, after his light automatically turned off, he stayed on his basking rock. I thought maybe he had fallen asleep so I touched the rock and made it shake a little. He woke up, looked at me, and then went right back to sleep. This is very unlike him. He is okay with me being around but if my hands are near him, he darts back into the water. He is still there now, even though his lights have been off over an hour. What should I do?
