The dangers of too deep water bowls. :(

I'm very very sorry to hear about your tort

I watched her one night while she was wandering around her enclosure. I noticed her walking along the edge of the water bowl and was thinking to myself that she may topple in. I assume that this is how it happened. She was walking along the edge, slipped, and fell in on her back. The steps were only on one end, like a swimming pool.

I have the exact same bowl. I'm gonna make goddamn sure now that it's very shallow from now on. Thank you. You may have just saved Sheldon's life.

So so sorry for you and your little tortoise. Remember that we all, at some point, learn a painful lesson. Thank you for sharing yours with us so that others can modify their own enclosures and routines accordingly. Unfortunately, this is often how we learn what works and what doesn't. I hope you find peace and heal quickly.

Poor little guy. It must be horrible to experience something like this, but I'm thankful that you took the time to write this and it'll undoubtedly save many lives in the future.
