A red eared turtle's temp needs to be changed every once in a while. During the day, it needs to be between 75 and 85. During the night it should be 70 and 75. When they are basking, or bathing in the sun, it should be bewtween 90 and 95. Be sure to place a thermomiter near the basking area and aquarium thermomitor under the water.
Hope this helps!

Why won't my baby red eared slider eat?
AnswerDo you have a heat lamp for the turtle? See the Related Question below.AnswerMy baby turtle has the same problem but I'll tell you what I know... Red eared sliders can only eat in water, and they wont eat if its too cold or if your watching him/her. also try giving him/her different foods and try to see if he/she will eat that. also if it is a new turtle then wait a few day until it is used to its surrondings. and baby red eared sliders like meat alot more then anything else so try and give cooked salmon or cooked meat. I hope that your turtle eats!Another Answer:Red Eared Slider turtles eat MEAT when babies, make sure they are at home and comfy and not spazzing out, then slip a small piece of chicken in their tank. It will sink, but they should find it. Also, when Red Eared Sliders are babies, the water cannot go above their heads if they are on their back legs. Their heads need to poke out.

What should be in a painted turtles tank?
You should have something to cover the bottom with like rocks (gravel) that's big enough so that the turtle won't swallow it. (Because turtle's try to eat the stuff on the bottom if it's small enough to swallow.) You should have a rock or log for the turtle to bask on.Also make sure to have a place for the turtle to hide, this provides a less stressful environment for them. You should have some water plants in there for them.For Example: Amazon Sword, Java Fern, Common Waterweed. But before you put these in check to make sure they are not toxic to the turtles in case they decide to have a little snack... Make sure you have a filter (the bigger the better), the cleaner your tank is there's less a chance your turtle will get sick. Also clean your tank once a week because turtle tend to carry salmonella ( don't worry you wont get it as long as after handling the turtle or the tank you wash your hands thoroughly.) Make sure you have a UVB light over the basking area, and a heat lamp over the water. Depending on how cold your house temp. is you can get a heating mat for your tank. Well this is all i know about it so hoped i helped. OH! I almost forgot, You might need to put your turtle!(: Ok well hope it goes well!!!(: ~Leah~

How do you turn down the temp of your oil heated hot water?
It would depend on how the water was heated. Tankless Coil, there should be a valve on the side of the coil, that has a knob on top, that is your mixing valve and should be used to adjust water temp. Indirect Hot Water Tank, it is connected to boiler through piping, but does not have it's own burner...should have a box on it, (aquastat), that will adjust the temp of your hot water, likewise with a Direct Fired Hot Water Tank, which is the same as mentioned above, but with it's own oil burner.
