looking after my pet turtle (res)

Question
i have recently bought a turtle and im just wondering do you have to let the water heat up before putting your turtle back in after cleanibg the tank or when just changing the water can you put warm water in

Answer
Try to only put your turtle in water that is 75-80F. You can use warm water, if it is in that range, or you can let your water heater work on it.

However, if you are doing full water changes, you are working too hard! Get yourself a good filter and check out the ideas at http://ww.redearslider.com
