Conductivity, the transferring or warming up of something due to heat conducted by another object, in this case sun-to-plastic-to water, is a fear of mine putting my turtles outside. Does anyone suggest a protective covering I could put around the plastic in order to restrict or drastically reduce this?

I must put my turtles in the sun for a few hours in the morning(note, only a few hours.) It's near 90 where I live. But the only spot I can find is without any shade whatsoever, and I'm in need of reducing the conductivity from the plastic container I'll be using.

Mind you, I know that direct sun is dangerous, could use something to cover half the tank etc., but this is the only location near my apartment that I can find where I can put my turtles outside.

Moreover, the pond I'm putting them in is a simple 3x2x2 rubbermaid, if that. It's just I need to get the turtles outside and haven't yet to find a plastic pond.
