If you have a pet turtle at home maintaining the right temperature in their habitat is important to keep them healthy and happy all year round. You can install a thermometer inside their habitat to help keep you monitor changes in the temperature. If it’s relatively cold where you’re living, you can buy and install a submersible heater to regulate the heat inside their habitat. It’s good practice to always check for your turttle’s tank temperature before placing him inside. There are certain kinds of turtles with specific temperature needs. For example, red-eared sliders and painted turtles like it better when their habitat is around 78 to 82 degrees. You can also install heating lamps to further regulate ambient temperatures inside your turtles habitat. You can aim them directly on dry land and rocky areas of the habitat. Make sure you find out first your turtle’s habitat when you bought him, you can then match that temperature to the one you have at home. If this is all confusing for you don’t hesitate to contact your vets Bourne MA for more information.
