Anyone have a pet turtle?

i have 2 baby turtles and I was wondering if it's ok to use actual sunlight instead of a UVB light. I of course bring them inside and put a basking light on for the night until I decide to go to bed. Is that ok?

Oh, that's ok then

misssmartiez · Answer

It ran away from him, because he left it out too long. However, his name is speedy, and I loved him.

I think the UVB light is good... I had turtles when I was a kid and that's what I used :)

misssmartiez · Answer

Also, UVBs do help them I believe, since they are cold blooded, they need some sunlight

I take them outside everyday though, is that ok?

misssmartiez · Answer

But not too much we do not want cracked skin and over heating.

1: WATCH THEM

2: GIVE THEM SUNLIGHT AND OR Exerise. However, let them cool off and or rest too!

misssmartiez · Answer

It can be if you leave them out too long without water I believe.
