Hello everyone, not sure how i use this website. i dont even know if this is the right place to be typing this.
I recently moved and built an indoor pond for both my red eared sliders. they have a completely new setup which i know can cause them not to bask but they have been in their new set up for a little over a month.
water temperature is 76F and basking area is 90F.
I have seen them get on the basking area because i placed food there for them but i havent seen them basking, not once. I am at the point of getting a camera so that i can check in on them during the day to see if they bask at all. Everything about their characteristics are completely normal. They swim all day, they are social when we come up to the pond, they are eating the same, they dont mind being picked up and pet. They are active and dont seem to be sick or anything like that. Im just getting concerned because its been over a month.
Any help or suggestions?
Thank you.
