Turtles can bask in the sun. This kind of animal usually basks in the sun, which has many advantages, such as raising body temperature, accelerating metabolism, eliminating bacteria on turtle shells, and preventing some diseases. And light can promote the synthesis of vitamin D3, which helps to absorb calcium. It should be noted that you should not expose yourself to the sun. You must avoid noon and do not put it on the cement floor for more than 30 minutes every day. 1、 Can a tortoise bask in the sun? A tortoise can bask in the sun, and often. It usually takes about 30-120 minutes of sun exposure every day. For this animal, sun exposure has many benefits, which can improve its body temperature and increase its metabolism. At the same time, it can sterilize and prevent some diseases. In addition, it can also promote the synthesis of vitamin D3, which is very helpful for turtles to absorb calcium. 2、 What to pay attention to in the sun 1. Don't expose to the sun: it's good to expose the tortoise to the sun, but if the sun is too long and the light is too strong, it will backfire. Generally, avoid the sun at noon, which is easy to cause its back nail to dry and crack after a long time.
2. Pay attention to the ground: when drying the turtle's back, don't let it on the cement ground or asphalt. This kind of ground has strong heat absorption ability. Over time, if the ground temperature is high, it may burn it.
3. Back drying time: generally, the back drying time should not be too long. Light can accelerate the evaporation of water. If the back is dried for a long time, it is easy to cause the turtle to dehydrate. Usually in 30-60 minutes, if the light is soft, it can be dried for 120 minutes.
4. Ensure safety: in addition to not being placed on the ground with strong heat absorption capacity, we also need to pay attention to the sun exposure environment. Safety is the most important. They often don't notice the surrounding dangers when climbing, so they must be careful. （WuGuiNengShaiTaiYangMa，ShaiTaiYangYaoZhuYiShenMe）
