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? ta edit- the older one has tonight gone on the floating log,when just the normal light was on. i tried to sneek over and put the heat lamp on, and it jumped off. so, some progress already!!!!! i've left the heat lamp on now,hoping it will climb on. |

''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? ''
yes, 86-90,and 100 basking. we have a uv tube for most of the day,and the lamp later on. |

Razorback musks are infrequent baskers, so your turtles are not behaving abnormally.
However, your temperatures are too high - your basking temp should be mid 80s to low 90s and your water temp should be mid to high 70s
