Hi all
Squirtle, my Red Eared Slider, has been basking a lot lately up to 12 hours a day, even after I turn the lights off. Eating, swimming and sleeping (yes under his java moss) fine.
500L tank
Ammonia = 0ppm nitrite = 0ppm nitrate = 0-5ppm, pH= 6.4-6.6.
Also he almost seems to start to pyramid. Not major, just some unshed scutes. Anything I can do to help with shedding scutes?
Also is this kind of basking concerning? Once lights go off now I try to encourage him back into the water but he is quite stubborn.
Thanks
