Turtle basking has become a must if trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Basking is the act of exiting the water within the tank to a sturdy surface that resides outside of the water in order to acquire some heat (UVB) and other vitamins and minerals. If you notice that your turtle basks frequently throughout a day then this is a good sign of great health.
