Hi ClareandCo,
Thanks so much for your reply,
I am not currently dry docking him, he is in shallow water at the moment with plenty of space to get out and dry off easily.
He's in a large box with deep sides so that he can't climb out and the light and heating is far enough away. He has a small dock in there but hasn't wanted to come out onto it very much. Because he's quite weak, the water is just covering his shell (approximately 3/4 inches of water) so he can easily lift his head out of the water to breathe.
The vet suggested reintroducing him into the tank to see if he calms down and his behaviour does improve a little in there.
Many thanks,
Natalie
