My baby turtle keeps bumping into the side of the tank. Confused

It's actually kinda funny. Idea

It looks like it sees its reflection or something. He also only chills at his basking rock, the left side of the tank(which is clear of plants or rocks, the side he runs into the glass on) and on and through one of the plants. Is this normal? Help me out!!!!! Thanks! Wink

does he do it all the time or only when someone's around? cz it's either he recognizes u and is playing or he's scared and trying to hide

just when i'm around but he only does it to the left side of me on that side of the tank. he eventually gives up though.

nothing to worry about.mine do it all the time. it'll mean something when they are mature and one of them wants to lay eggs, she'll keep trying to dig around
