Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

I have always read that low temperatures make RES lethargic while warm/hot water boosts activity.

However, could too high water temperatures (such as 86-90 ºF) cause lethargy too?

In a way, yes. My RES, while still having appetites, will bask a bit less.
