General Care Discussion :: Going outside

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Since my dominant female wont let my other female bask I have been taking her outside. She is timid and is scared when I do this but I am hoping she will get used to it. How long should I keep her out in the sun? I dont want her to get over heated or anything.

How big are they, their basking area (and what kind is it) and their tank size?

The basking area is big enough for them both to get up on. I only have a 55 gal tank in the process of getting a bigger one. Just not del. yet. They are both about 6 inches long.

Yep, I have one being del. tomorrow. This one is an ATBA. Was hoping to be able to get rid of the one in the tank. Maybe next month I will get another ATBA.
