General Care Discussion :: Long basking

[Take-One]

Savava will stay up on her basking area for about 10 hours each day. She is always up there. Its starting to worry me.

Basking Temp. 94
Water Temp. 79
I know this can be a sign of sickness but there isn't any RI symptoms. When she is in the water she can swim fine.

I wouldn't worry, its just what she wants to do

T-One -- I would lower the temps a little. Keep the water about 75 to 77 and the basking around 91 degrees. Usually the larger you can lower your water temp a little. My larger ones are at 75 and my smaller are at 77 to 79.
