Dear Linda,



Thank you so much for your feedback/response to my water heater question. I was considering getting a red heat lamp to keep the water warm enough at night so that my painteds could stay comfortable at an optimum temperature. Unfortunately, this would mean that I would have to buy another heat lamp and an extension for the power outlet in addition to the red heat bulb. I found my old water heater that is perfect in size and temperature output for the young turtles and I decided to use that instead. I also constructed a protective barrier around the heater so that there was no chance of the cute little guys burning themselves on it. The heater is set at 76 degrees Fahrenheit and I'm sure that now they will be happier and healthier in their new and improved turtle haven. Thank you again for your advice and I hope to talk to you soon. Oh and by the way, your photo of your iguana wearing the hat and glasses is histerical. In some way, with the spines on its back and its overall complexion, it seems like your iguana has an uncanny resemblance to Ebenezer Scrooge. lol. I don't know, maybe it's just me; it was the first thing that popped into my head. Anyway, great picture and happy holidays.
