Maybe it's not used to you? Try playing music. Or getting it A toy? I've given my tortoise toy cars or balls made for cats. You could take it out of the tank and let it explore. Or play hide and seek with the food in its substrate.

Okay tootsies in her new home and seems totally happy! But unaware of what to do with the space lol Total project cost.... 10 bucks! So the glass tank is what she was in and then ill show it with just the wood and then with the tarp and everything finished :) just gotta paint it tomorrow.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I unfortunately don't have the water bed mattress. I've been just putting regular mattresses in the frame since high school. I will be sure to send pictures when everything is done. We're going to give the pond liner a go.
