Razor turtle is a typical deep-water turtle. This kind of turtle needs to be exposed to the sun. There are many benefits of exposure to the sun. First, sunlight can kill bacteria and parasites on them and contribute to their health. In addition, moderate light can help them improve their immunity and promote their growth and development. In addition, sun exposure to razor turtles can also increase vitamin D and promote the absorption of calcium, phosphorus and other nutrients. 1、 Do razor turtles need to be exposed to the sun? It is very necessary to raise razor turtles and expose them to the sun. Because razor turtles have many advantages in the sun, they should be exposed to the sun regularly. If there is no sun for a long time, it will lead to soft nails, soft legs, malnutrition and so on. Sunbathing razor turtles can enhance their calcium absorption, reduce the occurrence of chondropathy, kill their bacteria and parasites and improve their own resistance.
However, when they are exposed to the sun, they can't be exposed to the sun. Exposure is easy to kill the tortoise. We should pay attention to the need for shade while exposing them to the sun. In this way, it is necessary to place the tanning table in the tank and set up a shady place for them to avoid the sun. Small tiles or shorter plants are OK. The water area should also be set in a cool place. Don't let the sun directly expose the water area, so that the razor turtle can adjust the time and position of the sun by itself. In addition, you should pay attention not to bask in the sun when the temperature difference is very large. For example, if it is very cold in winter or very hot in summer, you'd better not bask in them. Other times are OK. 2、 How long does the razor turtle need to bask in the sun? There is no strict time requirement for the razor turtle to bask in the sun. Let them bask in the sun for two or three hours a day, or five or six hours. It's best to sun them once a week. It's better to bask in the morning sunrise and afternoon sunset. It's best not to bask in the noon sun. The high temperature of the noon sun will affect their healthy growth. It's OK to have natural light at ordinary times. （TiDaoGuiXuYaoShaiTaiYangMa，XuYaoShaiDuoJiu）
