Question

Is 82degrees f cold or hot for turtles?

Answer 1

What kind of turtle?  Land or water?  Box turtle?  Red Ear Slider turtle?  We need a bit more detail to help you with your question.  Go to your "additional" section and tell us what kind of turtle it is, please.

If it's a water turtle, then ideally, water temperature would be 75-78 degrees and the basking area 90-95 degrees.

If it's a land turtle, the temperature will vary by species, so there's no general right temperature.

I hope this has been helpful.

to warm..75 to 78..they are cold blooded but they need this temp.

They bask for uo to 10 hrs daily also..

Answer 4

You should be able to look up the optimum temperature range for a specific turtle species.  Some like it hotter than others.  Just make sure there is a temperature gradient within its habitat.  That way it can go to the temperature it prefers.
