Is it new to them? How long have you had them? What's the basking temperature?

The DIY basking platform was setup yesterday. That could probably be the reason i guess. Am just worrying they have no dry area to bask.

I would temporarily move the light closer to the ramp. And try to lure them up there with food.

What did they bask on before? Before I went ATBA, I had that floating dock.
Days after no basking with the ATBA, I stuck the old floating dock up on the basking platform and all was good.
