No,but if it is cheek it's eyes for swelling and blindness other wise bye some turtle eye droppings at petsmart!
pet turtles can sleep as much as they want in water if they loose oxygen they will lift their heads and get oxygen
they can if they want to , there's nothing to worry about.
They either sleep on land or in the water.
Yes turtles can see under the water
inside water
red bellied turtles sleep on the moist hard rocky shore of fresh water
Turtles, like any other animal, sleep when they need to. I catch my four napping on a regular basis. They love catching a snooze while out sunning themselves. They can't sleep under water they have to be basking. If they were to sleep under water they might drown. My turtle spent her first night completely undewater (sleeping) So I guess they do sleep underwater they hold their breath for hours
yes they do sleep under or above /water i found one in my creek a couple days ago and put it in a tub and its been pretty content its sleeping right now=)
in ponds and other fresh water places Glenn
My baby turtle sleep underwater. They need to be able to get on land and in fact they enjoy it! My turtles do fine out of water for an hr or more because they also sleep out of water. Turtles need time out of their terrarium so they can work out.
No they do not breathe under water. They have lungs. Aquatic turtles such as the red - eared slider can hold their breath for 3 - 4 hours.
They swim .
