When breeding map turtles, there are still many problems to pay attention to. For example, it is better to take out a period of time every day to let them bask in the back shell. A proper sun on the back of the map turtle has many advantages. For example, proper light can promote the synthesis and absorption of vitamins in map turtles, which is conducive to promoting their growth and development. In addition, if the map turtle is in the water for a long time, then their back shell may breed some bacteria and parasites, and these organisms are harmful to the health of the map turtle, proper sunshine can eliminate these harmful organisms, which is conducive to the health of the map turtle. Then, proper light exposure can also improve their disease resistance and immunity, usually they are not easy to get sick.
However, there is a limit to the amount of time you can bask in your back. It's no good not to sun your back, but it's also no good to expose your back to the sun and sun it for too long. Generally speaking, one or two hours a day is enough.
When drying their backs, map turtles need to climb onto a platform, or take them out of the container and put them on the ground to dry. It is definitely not possible to continue to stay in the water. Therefore, the sunning table can be placed in the container, so that when they are sunning their backs, they do not need to be taken out of the container, which is more convenient. Moreover, the map turtle can climb on it to sleep when it sleeps. If there is no special drying table, you can also use some stones instead, as long as you can let the map turtle climb up.
