Default New here, be gentle!! Razorbacks..

Why do they not seem to want to bask?We have a rock above water,a
floating log, heat lamp, but they just won't go out the water.
Am i to be concerned about this?

what are you basking temp? it should be 10 degrees higher than the water temp ie if you water is 24C your basking temp should be between 32-35C. also do you have a uv bulb/tube?

you will get more replys if you post this in the shelled section
