Why We Love National Pet Day
They make the best companions
Pets make the most loving and devoted creatures. They cure our loneliness and stress, mold their schedules to us, and often become integral members of our families.
They help us keep up with routines
Scheduling walks, playdates, and feeding times allows us to plan our days with discipline, makes us more likely to stick to routines, and teaches us time management skills. Sometimes our pets can be the reason we get out of bed each morning. (Yes, they can help improve symptoms of depression.)
They bring meaning to our lives
You develop a mutual dependency upon each other and that feels great.

@Narta1612 they do bask under heat lamp, I custom made a basking top for turbo that has a ramp for easy access and gives him plenty of swimming space with a large resting loft on top.
These images are are examples, I combined these by making a cabinet top with egg crate material for basking ramp and basket.. he loves it!
