Yes. Although red eared slider turtles are aquatic, they love to sit on rock and let themselves be exposed to the sun, air; and basking is part of their natural lifwestyle as it dries their shell on a regular basis to prevent shell rot and fungal infection. So therefore = DO NOT REMOVE THE BASKING MATERIAL or the natural lifestyle patterns will be disturbed. However, if the turtle spends too much time on the rock and hardly ever comes off then it could be a sign of a health problem. See your herp vet.
if your turtle is a male you will see a bump on either side of its tail. if its a female its more likely to be aggressive and will only have a slight bump on either side of it's tail.
