General Care Discussion :: New tank; basking takes longer?

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Just recently I've gotten Ichmeler a new tank and worked hard on the basking area. I dont see him bask at all. I did just raise my basking area temperature and lower the water temperature a little bit, maybe that will help him bask more often...
He is eating normally and swimming like a champ, so nothing wrong with that.

It could take some time to adjust, you might just want to cover the side for some extra privacy.
