|
Hi Guys 
I finally bought my 1yr Old Female Map Turtles x2 and have setup their tank. I am wondering if there is anything else im going to need for it?, I have included in the tank so far...
* 24'' Tank
* 14/15W 15''18'' Arcadia Ultra Seal Conroller
* 18'' 15W Rept-Glo 10.0 UVB Tube
* Fluval 3 Filter
* In tank Temptature gauge
They started off in water of 24 degress but just over night now its gone upto 26 degress, is this a SERIOUS matter?

| 24 degrees is way to cold for a turtle. Where are you located? |

| I'm going to presume you're talking 26 degrees celcius. That's fine, it's about equivalent to 78 degrees farenheit. |

those are definately not map turtles - they are Red Eared Sliders, and they seem to be hatchlings, not yearlings. a 1yr old RES could be nearing 10cm |
