Given my previous experience with seperating them, I’m hesitant to do so, but as I’m putting together a new enclosure for them I think I may try that one again just to rule it out.
Comment on My turtle is lazy, what do I do about it?

my wife who has had turtles, terrapins, and tortoises her whole life. I read this to her and she said maybe the male is being too aggressive so she is staying where she feels safe or its just a behavior thing and she just likes her spot.

would be interesting if they could see each other. would she go to a clear wall because she missed him? this is me I did not check with my wife for advice.

That’s actually a good question. Turtles are are notoriously bad at seeing transparent things, so it may be both adorable and frustrating to watch.

I’d second the idea with the aggressive male, but then I read a comment by OP further down where both wouldn’t eat when separated. So I guess it’s simply her favorite spot.
