my turts are babies and they usually swim alot (since i put them in the tank, which has been about 5 days total) but now, starting the day before yesterday evening, they have been basking....... im not sure if they are eating, but again they are only babies....... the water temp is around 78 (which i heard was good for babies turts) and the basking spot temp: i dunno, but i do not have a UVB light YET.... im getting one this week along with a new tank that is alot bigger, BUT i DO have a light that is warm...... i put them in the sun every once in a while to get D3...... any suggestions? thanks
