Re: Water temp.

Alex, Interesting bit of information. I tend to keep mine between 75-82 in the summer. I have seen that the air temps in the upper peninsula of Fl are around 80-85 now. The coastal currents are around 68-72 I believe. But the shallows of the marshes are 75 to 82 during the day time now and I doubt they are much less than 70 at night. The marshes soak up the daylight warmth quickly and hold it pretty well. I agree that over 82 may be a bit warm unless the individual is diseased. I also provide a basking area that gives mine access to temps over 90F if they wish. Scott — In diamondbackterrapins@y…, “Alex Netherton”
