She is sooo much bigger, I didn't expect to see such a change. So I have a question for all you lovely people. She is too big for her tank now. It's only a little plastic one and I got given a tank from my cousin which had his turtles in and it is massive, so she will be able to live in that for a good portion of her life. How do I get her out of the old one? I'm not doing it yet. Not for a few weeks until I know she is ok but I just want to know. Every time I open the lid, she flinches or if I take her water bowl, she gets skittish. I haven't held her since I got her which was last November. The guy that had her before did but I don't have the confidence. What is going to be the safest way to move her?</p></blockquote><p></p>
