all you really need is a rock that is big enough to hold the turtle and it has to go above water to let the turtle climb out of the water and onto dry land to bask. Above to rock...there needs to be a heating lamp. If you dont have a heating lamp then put some kind of light over the basking area until you get one. Of course if you want to spoil your pet turtle then you can go out to the pet store and buy all different kinds of basking areas... What gives me an idea is that i go to www.Google.com and type in water turtle habitats and look at the pictures.

Do red eared sliders need a dry area?
Yes, red-eared sliders need a dry area to get out of the water. Above this area should be a turtle basking lamp. Aquatic turtles will bask daily. Basking keeps the turtle's skin and shell health from fungus while the UV in the light is needed for the turtles growth. Without a dry area and a basking light your turtle will not be healthy and happy.

How can I create an ideal basking spot for my turtle using an egg crate?
To create an ideal basking spot for your turtle using an egg crate, place the egg crate under the heat lamp in your turtle's enclosure. Make sure the egg crate is sturdy and can support your turtle's weight. This will provide a raised platform for your turtle to bask under the heat lamp, helping them regulate their body temperature effectively.

Do turtles come up on land to die?
No, don't worry. If you see a turtle on land then it's probably basking or laying eggs. It's best to just leave them alone. They might look dead but are probably just asleep. I have a baby aquatic turtle that climbs up to his favorite rock and sleeps there for a hour or 2 under the basking lamp every day. As you can see there's nothing to worry about.
