Has your turtle ever borrowed in ur shirt and fallen asleep?

Answers:

Mine hasn't but I just wanted to add that a windowsill is not a good basking spot for a turtle if the glass is down because sunlight filtered through the glass is deprived of its value; sunlight must reach the turtle unfiltered. If a turtle is not getting unfiltered natural sunlight, then he needs a basking spot with a UVA/UVB light of at least 5% and a heat lamp.

Nope, but then we just got our turtle today and he doesn't quite trust us yet. I've had snakes fall asleep in my shirt before, though. They get so still & quiet you don't even notice them until they poo on you, lol!

Not since he was a baby. But he still likes to sit where it is warm and protected and nap. I have a slider so he is in an aquarium most of the time. But I take him out and let him sit in a sunny window at least once a week, he loves looking out doors and basking in the sun. This allows him to replentish the vitamin D he needs to assure his calcium is available for shell growth and health. Just give him a place to get out of the sun if it is too strong for him.
