What is the ideal tempature for 2 baby red ear sliders?

EMEMBER THERE BABIES AND WHAT WATTAGE HEATER IS GOOD FOR THEM

What is the ideal tempature for 2 baby red ear sliders?
Your lighting should be doing a lot to keep the water at a warm temperature, but it's good to have a low wattage submersible heater to keep it constant. These have a built in thermostat to regulate temperature when lights are on and off. You want to keep the water between 75-85 degrees. It's also a good idea to buy a thermometer to stick on the glass so you can easily see what the temp. is at all times.
Reply:I think you are talking about a water heater ?





well I have read anywhere between 20c-26c


but the best for babys is 22c-24c x
Reply:Since RES turtles spend most of their time in the water you would want to also have a water heater to keep the water at a temp of 75-90F all the time. The air temperature could be cooler but still should stay at a basic 75-85F. You should buy two thermometers, one to make sure the water stays at a prompt degree and one for the air. You need to make sure that it stays at a good temp otherwise they may become lethargic and sick. They are reptiles and are cold blooded. I am not sure of the wattage unfortunately. Sorry. Since the Res turtles spend a lot of time in the water you need to make sure that it stays at a perfect temp, especially as babies. Depending on the turtle you might want to focus one area in for basking at about 95-100 degrees F. So just look for a wattage that support these. I hope I was of assistance to you, good luck. :)
Reply:i have 2 babies with a 100w and it keeps the basking area about 100 degrees
