when my red eared slider basks, I have a large rock in his tank for him to crawl up on. Does it matter if there is some water on the surface of the rock, or does he need a completely dry area? I like to have the water as deep as possible for him to swim.

welcome to the board Smile

the turtle should be able to dry completely on the basking area. lowering the water level an inch won't affect much Smile

I think she would be happier with completely dry area

Thanks for all the input. I'll leave a dry area for him, I've read a lot and I could never find anything that answered my question.
