General Care Discussion :: RES Basking

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2016 7:33 pm   RES Basking

My RES is a year old now, and he is doing great. I tend to panic over every little thing though. Recently I've noticed that he has been basking on his side sometimes. He hasn't been swimming on his side - just basking. My boyfriend seems to think that he's just enjoying the heat lamp, but I figured I'd ask if this was normal. Thanks in advance.

Probably normal but do you have a picture of this behavior?

I'm not sure if it has something to do with the fact that his rock isn't flat or what. It's usually more dramatic but he's not very photogenic today.
