Thanks for the reply Steve, so just to confirm temperatures 76-78 is ok for yearlings?
Currently basking temps are at 88 degrees, I'm using those thermometer gauges that stick in the inside of the tank.
I've had the turtles for about 3 1/2 weeks now.
I've got two little res one is super shy and the other quite the opposite. I always see my non shy turtle bask but the other guy not so much.
I know that when I'm not home the shy turtle basks but its for only minutes at a time, with the highest of 20 minutes straight.
Is this ok for him not to bask in long spurts?
What is the highest basking temperature I can go for these little guys?
Current water temp at 78 degrees.
Thanks
