I just got a Flordia softshell 2 weeks ago. I keep the water at 78-79 degrees. I provide the uvb light for it to bask i have a basking area so i can do that. Its eats very well and is swims alot but is very shy. My question are i never see it on the basking ledge. I almost sure it doenes't go on it. when it's resting it climbs in a vine deceration and is there for the night. But it stays in the water. The water is clear as could be.Also how to tell if its male or female.thank you...
