Young turtles need to bask in their backs. For young turtles, basking in the back can promote development and calcium absorption, thus preventing diseases such as soft nail disease, and has the effect of sterilization and disinfection. However, because the young turtle's body is weak and its adaptability to the environment and temperature is poor, the time for drying its back should not be too long, and it should not be placed in strong light. It is best to provide it with some water, so as to avoid heatstroke.

1. Raising the temperature: The first advantage of basking in the back is to raise the temperature. As a temperature-changing animal, the activities of turtles are often closely related to the temperature. If the temperature is relatively low, turtles are not very active. On the contrary, after the temperature rises, its metabolism will accelerate and it will love activities more.

2. Eliminate bacteria: Because sunlight contains ultraviolet rays, it still has a good killing effect on some bacteria, especially for turtles soaked in water for a long time, it is easy to have various fungi on their backs, which can be completely eliminated by basking in the sun, thus preventing various diseases.

3. Promote calcium absorption: Sun exposure can also promote calcium absorption. Although sun exposure can not supplement calcium, it can promote the synthesis of vitamin D3, which is of great help to calcium absorption, bone growth and soft nail disease.
