The sweet spot
Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2007 2:31 pmJust to let all who helped me know, I have found the sweet spot that my turts love to bask in. Also, I have figured out how to post a pic of them. So, thanks to everyone for their input.

Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2007 4:36 pmRight around 96 degrees. T-Rex goes up for about an hour at a time and Lisa sometimes will go up for a couple of hours and other times continuously climb up and jump off like it's a diving board. It's pretty funny to watch.

Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2007 9:37 pmActually around 95 degrees. A lot of people on here recommend 90 degrees, but Spot's just not interested at that temp. He's a Texas turtle.
