1. Time for basking in the sun: Although Brazilian tortoises can move on land, they cannot leave the water for a long time. Especially when basking in the sun, you need to pay attention to the time. In winter, the time to bask in the sun can be longer, about 1-2 hours. In summer, when the temperature is high, the time to bask in the sun can be controlled between 30-60 minutes. Because you spend too much time in the sun, you may get dehydrated.

2. Intensity of sunlight: When Brazilian tortoises bask in the sun, they should also pay attention to the intensity of sunlight. Usually, it is necessary to avoid the midday sunshine, because the midday sunshine is fierce, and it is easy to have a large temperature difference when they are exposed to the sun.

3. Place to bask in the sun: Many breeders will put Brazilian tortoises directly on the ground to bask in the sun for convenience. Although it is convenient, breeders should pay attention to the material of the ground. Because some floors absorb heat, such as concrete floors, their surface temperature can reach above 60 ℃ after being exposed to the sun. If Brazilian tortoises are directly placed on them to bask in the sun, they may burn.

There are many benefits of basking in the sun. For example, basking in the sun can promote their absorption of calcium and make their carapace harder. It can also promote their metabolism and speed up their growth and development. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can also kill most bacteria on the carapace, making them reduce the occurrence of diseases.
