Musk turtles need to bask in their backs. Most turtles need and like to bask in their backs. Of course, musk turtles are also one of these turtles. In family breeding, there are many methods to sun their backs. You can put a Stone above the water in the fish tank, which is convenient for them to climb out of the water and bask in the sun. If you don't put Stone, you can also find a place for them to stay in the container, so that they can move on the shore. You can also put a back-drying lamp in the fish tank to help them sun their backs. This situation is generally applicable to rainy days and when the outside light is insufficient. Generally, you choose to bask in your back at 9-10 am and 17-19 pm. However, it is no problem to keep it open during the day.

In addition, basking in their backs can also increase their resistance and immunity. Therefore, when conditions permit, it is best to put them in the sun for a period of time every day, but be careful not to be exposed to the sun.
