Brazilian tortoise pneumonia not bask in the sun, because pneumonia is mostly caused by too low water temperature or too large temperature difference. If they are exposed to the sun, the temperature difference of their bodies may be too large. Not only is it not very helpful to their illness, but it may also aggravate their illness.

After Brazilian tortoises develop pneumonia, breeders need to keep them in shade and use heating lamps or heating rods to keep the water temperature constant. In addition, after suffering from pneumonia, their breathing will become poor, so breeders need to lower the water level to avoid choking and drowning. If the tortoise's pneumonia doesn't improve, the breeder will give them some antibiotics to help with the treatment.

Although Brazilian tortoises are aquatic tortoises, they also like to bask in the sun. Breeders need to decide the time to bask in the sun according to their situation. Under normal circumstances, it is best to give them sunshine in the morning and evening, because the sunshine at this time is not strong, which will not cause them to dehydrate or suffer from heatstroke. If it is in autumn and winter, the sunshine in autumn and winter is not particularly fierce all day, so long as you avoid the midday sunshine, you can bask in it at other times.
