I have a baby turtle, about 2 inches.
i have him in a 70 gallon tank with proper lighting and everything. i have him several basking spots but he wont bask! All he does is swim all day and when he gets tired he'll just hang onto the basking are then swim again. I know hes strong enough to get on the basking area because I leave food for him there everyday and he eats it... then he goes back to swmming.
hes as cute as hell, but wont bask and im afraid his shell will get soft.
right now I have him in a container sitting on the basking spot so he'll get some light. still hes trying to get to the water. whats going on, help me please
