Where I live I go with the natural cooling water temps of water of winter months in room temp. starting in late Nov. through March. My RES starts to breed in Late March to April and even sometimes in fall. I bring water temps up to mid to upper 70ties.

What actual temp do they go down to? How do the turtles behave, do they stay in the water or burrow in soil? Do you stop feeding them the whole time? Thanks
