>>I have kept Common snappers for several years. I offered my 1st snapper a basking area for a few months when he was a hatchling and he never used it. So ever since then I stopped giving them the option. I have seen full grown adults basking out in the local ponds. Does anyone have them in there indoor setups, and if so are they used often? Ive been thinking about providing one.

You should always provide an aquatic turtle with a basking site. While snappers typically don't make use of them often, they do occasionally like to leave the water to rest on land. In the wild snappers mostly "shallow water" bask but every so often I've seen them actually sitting on the edge of a pond or out on a log.
