The time of the yellow-eared turtle bask in the sun is affected by the temperature. If it is summer and the temperature is on the high side, the time of basking in the sun should be shorter, and it is best to control the time of basking in the sun for about one hour each time. If it is winter or autumn, the time of basking in the sun can be relatively long, and it is best to control the time of basking in the sun for about 1-2 hours each time. In addition to paying attention to the time of sun exposure, breeders should also pay attention to the time of sun exposure of yellow-eared turtles, and it is best to choose the stage of soft sun exposure. For example, in the early morning and dusk, because the midday sun is fierce, dehydration and heatstroke may occur if the sun is exposed for too long.

Yellow-eared turtles can bask in the sun in water or on land, and they have no high requirements on the place and way of basking in the sun. If there is enough space to raise them, you can choose to build a balcony in the container, which can not only reduce the trouble of the owner, but also let them freely choose the time and stage of balcony.

If there is not enough room in the container or the balcony cannot be built, the breeder can fish them out and sun them for 1 hour every day, and then put them back into the water. However, this method is time-consuming and laborious, and requires the breeder to have enough time.

You can also choose to sun them directly in water, which is more convenient. However, when basking in the sun, they need to be shaded by half of the sun, which can not only prevent the water temperature from rising too fast, but also give them a cool place to rest
