I have 7 Eastern Painted Turtles and they all LOVE their heat lamp. It is healthy for a turtle to have and enjoy a heat lamp. They need one to regulate their body temperature, help them shed and grow, digest meals, and keep them from developing fungus infections and skin disorders. Also, they just flat out love the feeling. I have one less than a year old Easty, he's only an inch and a half long, that crawls up on to the basking rock everyday and sleeps under the heat lamp for a couple of hours.
