| Abstract |
|
We examined timing and location of early spring basking activity and perch characteristics in Trachemys scripta. The greatest basking activity occurred from 1300 – 1400 hrsalong the shorelines with the least human habitation. Medium-sized turtles basked uni-formly throughout the day, whereas small turtles exhibited a mid-day peak. Finally,smaller turtles basked on perches with smaller circumferences compared to medium-sizedturtles.
