he should b fine usually bigger turtles like the bottom of the tank more... sacure feeling i guess but it deepends on the personality. because i have two reses and they have diff sleeping spots one likes the ramp and the other likes the bottom of the tank.

my turtles always sleep under water. you cant force them to get onto their land area. when you pick them up and move them they probably get scared. if you have the right uvb light and heat light they will come up on their land whenever they want to.

| My turtle sleeps underwater. I have a rubber mat covering the ramp to her basking rocks. At night she noses under the mat so she is tucked in nicely. As it's getting dark she has her nose above water peeking out of the edge of the mat but once the sun is down she retreats completely under the mat... her turtle blanket. |
