I have a male Eastern America Box Turtle. I brought him home from a farm I worked at and have had him for six years. I know now it was a bad thing to do... but anyway, no going back. He occasionally does this thing where he decides to take all of his water out of his big soaking pond, it is about 9X11 inches with 2.5 inches of water. He is in a thirty gallon aquarium with that at one end. I will fill it with the water and when I go back to check he has taken every bit of water out of it and put it in his aquarium. He is a big, fat boy. Eats great, beautiful shell, always super healthy but I can not figure out 1) why he moves all his water and 2) how he is doing it. Sometimes he does it, sometimes he doesn’t.
