In addition, the appropriate sun can make the turtle's back more good-looking, after the sun has been their back will be more shiny, but also more smooth; If they are not exposed to the sun for a long time, their backs feel rough.
Wild turtles may come out of the water to bask in the sun when the weather is good, and they will bask for several hours at a time if they are not disturbed. If they are raised in captivity, it is best not to keep them in the water all the time, but to bask in the sun regularly, but not every day in general.
There are varieties of turtles living in the wild, and there are also artificially raised varieties. When raising them in captivity, you need to pay attention to the problem of sunshine and try not to let them stay in the water all the time.
