The current temperatures i have for my 4 juvenile(about 3 months old) Yellow Bellied Sliders are as follows: Water temp at about 78-80degress, basking at about 91degress and the air temp on the cool end is 76degress. Is that ideal or good for the babies? I just want to make sure ive got all the temps right. not too hot or too cold. anyone with good knowledgeable experience feel free to shed some light.

The babies are doing excellent. they are super active, have an amazing appetite, they've eaten(destroyed) the water lettuces, and duckweed. They have eaten small feeder guppies, tiny crickets and love the commercial turtle food. they also do quite a bit of basking, necks fully extended as well as back legs. I read somewhere that is a sign of a healthy turtle. they all seem in great health and all have completely different but awesome personalities.

I will try to post a picture of the little ones with this post.

thanks in advance for any advice.
