my turtle never wants to come out of the water

Recently i obtained a 20 plus year old mud turtle, everyting seems fine except for the fact that he never wants to go onto the small basking area i have for him. I have a ramp set up out of rocks but he just has no interest of climbing up onto the rocks, am I doing something wrong?

Not all mud turtles will get out of the water, but you do need to leave the option open.

Keep it slow and steady.
