My turtle sees her reflection in the glass of her tank. Then she digs the gravel and claws on the glass. Is there somything wrong with her I would hate to lose my Shellby!

Glass tanks are very stressful for turtles- they cannot figure out why they cannot get out and it really bothers them.
Try either using a plastic tub, or covering the glass with something. (Try taping some newspaper over the glass and see if it helps. In most cases, the turtle will start acting MUCH more relaxed!)
