Charlie is Not Basking
Charlie hasn’t been basking in his tank for a few weeks now. I finally managed to set his water temperature to 78 degrees and his basking light to 88 degrees. The only thing he does is pop his head out of the water or go to the ramp and put his claws on top before popping his head out again. He won’t walk up to the basking area. He’s active in the water and eats well, so I’m not sure what could be causing this problem. He hasn’t basked in like 3 weeks. He’s 10 months old. I was told to not worry because he’s still getting use to his new environment and he will go up there when he’s ready. I changed his home around and just bought this new basking home a couple of weeks ago along with a new canister.
