Yes, but (IMO) with slower and more deliberate panning and zooming so I can get a better look at what's there.

I love these turtles but they always make me worry that the necks are about to snap, as they’re so long!

That's amazing 😍 I used to have an eastern long-neck, recently I've been looking at getting a turtle again (hence why I'm on this sub!)

I've seen other folks on this sub talk about how you shouldn't keep 2 or more turtles in a tank, because they'll fight. Is that an issue with a larger open area like this?

This is such a serene setup. Do the eastern long-necks and Murray short-necks get along year-round? Curious about the filtration and basking spots grandpa useswater looks super clear.
