I was reading on one of these posts that the water temp of 80-85 is not good, so I got a little concerned. I have a plastic tub that holds about 40 gallons and has a little fountain in it that I use for "Turtle" outside. It's a temporary swimming pool (next to my swimming pool that is in a screen enclosure) so she can get fresh air and sunshine for a few hours now and then. I live in Florida (east of Orlando) and right now the water temp in my pool is 86, so I think the Turtle pool is the same. I see she is shedding a little on her legs and under her neck, but not excessive, and I thought this was normal. Her shell looks very healthy. Her tank water in the house is around 76 degrees. Should I try to cool the water everytime I put her out there? It gets cooled I'm sure when I change it.
Sorry to be so longwinded.....
