Turtles may keep their heads out of the water to breathe, regulate body temperature, or to monitor their surroundings for predators. It's also possible that they may just be basking in the warmth of the environment. Ensure that the water temperature, quality, and other conditions in the turtle's habitat are suitable for their well-being.
