You can just use a heater to change the water temperature? and it is spring right? I think unless you are in the north pole, it can't be that cold? and if you don't have a heater, you can take her out of the water at night.

If the water is that cold, are you sure the turtle has eggs? Those kinds of temps would not trigger her to lay eggs.

How cold is the water actually dropping to? Turtles dont go into hibernation until 50 degrees F
