I need to know what temperature is good for my baby turtle. Please help me figure that out. I've been told left and right by different people that she needs 75 to 80 degrees in her Aquarium. And then a guy in a pet store tells me she needs her water room temperature. What really is the right temperature for my baby turtle?

Thanks for reaching out about Xena and including photos. The water temperature should be in the mid-70s but the basking site should reach 85-90 F with UVB exposure. If too cold, digestion, immune system and all metabolic processes are suppressed. Good luck.
