Bob really came out of his shell for that portrait.

All you need is a Charles Viancin lily pad lid in the shower pan. It's what we use for Bob. Bob is our 30 year old turtle and likes to hang out in a few inches of water...with a plastic palm tree. These are great for leftovers in the fridge too!

That's an awesome idea! I had forgot about how useful that stuff can be. We'll definitely do that. Thanks a lot!
It's not sunken in like the kitchen sink drain, so an ordinary rubber stopper won't work. My wife had found a rubber stop that seals on top of the drain, but I think that the Press 'n Seal is an even easier solution, and we can use it for other purposes as well.

I agree a few inches won't be a problem. Happens all the time when the gray tank fills up in the middle of a shower. Is the drain on yours not a standard round one that can take a standard rubber stopper?

I took out the original cover and replaced it with a mesh strainer my wife picked up the at Dollar Tree, they came as a set of 2, the other one is in the kitchen sink. The drain is 1 ¾” diameter so you can pick up a rubber sink stopper/plug to seal it

You'll have to check to see if it works, but how about just putting a square of Glad Press n Seal over the drain? The stuff works amazingly well with minimal contact area and leaves no residue when you remove it.
By amazingly well, I mean: take a red solo cup, fill it with water to within 3/4" of the brim. Take a square of Press n seal and cover the cup, sealing it only 1 1/2" down/around the neck (and cut off the rest). You can turn the cup upside down, shake it, toss it in the air and catch it and it won't leak a drop. And, yes, the shower pan itself is waterproof. Putting a couple inches of water in it isn't going to cause any trouble.

We only want to put a couple of inches of water in there for no more than a few minutes at a time. Do your really think that will make it leak? It's a shower after all.

I would not attempt to use the 177 Wet Bath as a Bathtub. The seams are "water resistant", not "waterproof".
