AnswerOK, the very first things I would ask is what are the heating parameters you have? Basking spot and water temperature should be appropriately set. Also do you have a UVB bulb in place for basking? All of these should be in place and if they are not would definitely lead to the behavior you describe. I would also suggest reading my article on the my website regarding red eared sliders as the parameters of care are the same. After answering the above in a reply I will be able to help you further.
