Can grass turtles bask in the sun for a long time. Although they are amphibian tortoises, frequent sun exposure is of great benefit to their growth and health. However, long-term sun exposure will lead to rapid evaporation of water in their bodies, which is prone to dehydration. If it is serious, there may be death. In addition, if the sun's rays are violent and the sun's exposure time is too long, the carapace of the turtle may be cracked by the sun. To raise grass turtles artificially, it is necessary to decide the time to bask in the sun according to their habits and the intensity of the sun.

To bask in the sun, you can choose to build a balcony or gentle slope in the container, so that they can climb up to bask in the sun anytime and anywhere, and they can also freely control the time of basking in the sun. This method is more convenient.

If the container is relatively small, you can directly put the container under the sunlight and let the turtle bask in the water. But you can't put all the containers under the sun, you need half to bask in the sun and half to shade. This can not only slow down the speed of water temperature rise, but also allow grass turtles to freely choose the time to bask in the sun. If the breeder wants them to bask in the sun on land but can't build a balcony, he can put them on the ground for 2-3 hours every day in weak light. However, this method is time-consuming and requires the breeder to have enough time and energy to realize it.
