But no basking would results in shell problems later Indian roofed turtles needs to bask frequently and they are not basking at all.I have a Chinese pond turtle and he(or she) doesn't like basking at all, i aways think is normal. btw yours turtles are so cutes.
No I don't know water temperature. Yes I keep them outside in my garden with natural sun I don't use any artificial lamps.Do you know water temperature? Can they actually climb out of the water onto basking platform? Do you keep them outside with natural sun or use lamps of any kind?
Also, I'll ask for help from @DoubleD1996!
It's a plastic tank .Where are you keeping them? Looks like a bathtub.
They need a heat source to bask. An artificial heat bulb and uvb bulb for proper shell growt, or natural sunlight, which can't be penetrated or filtered through a glass window.
No it's not plastic it's tile.What is the basking platform made of? Looks a little slippery in case it is plastic.
So should I place a heat source at basking area or sunlight is enough?I was going to say what Double D said - that is, Do you have a light positioned over the landing dock/basking area? Also, the water should be a little cooler than the basking area to encourage them to climb out to get warmer.
Thank you 😊. . . oh, and I forgot to say, "Welcome to the Forum!!!"
