I'm not sure how cold it is, theres bubbles on em and stuff tho.

Keep them somewhere warm and dry - around 80F and use a thermometer.

Alright i'll try, umm, i just found a scale that came from one of them. it's thin and clear though.

U really think it will take like 12 hours for that whole aquarium to heat up?

This is what I had said earlier --

They don't need to sit for an hour, does it say that in the instructions? I usually just leave it for 15 minutes, then plug it in. Before I take it out or I drain the water I unplug it and leave it in there for 15 minutes again.

ok i got them 2 in a 5 gallon bucket in the bathroom, next to the heater, will it hurt them if i take a shower? like will the steam?

Ok, 1 of them is now eating, seems like he's having a hard time to like chew the pellets tho. What do i do?

Are they eating in the water? If they're in a bucket with no water, they might just pick it up in their mouth but can't swallow it. They need to be in water to swallow.

Ok, their all good with eating now, is it ok to take them outside? It's actually sunny here in michigan.

What is the temperature? You really need to pay attention to the water and basking temperatures (and air if outside). Hatchlings really should be in a temperature of 78F.

It says like 74-78 this damn heater has taken like 2 days, its on full blast at 89 and it's been on that for 2 days.
