Hi Jim,
I have been keeping this species at work for over 12 years now and every time I had them get that cold, sooner or later I had outbreaks of saprolegnia (the picture in Amphibian Medicine and Captive Husbandry of the T. natans with saprolegnia was one of mine.
This is why I tend to keep them a lot warmer.

Ed
