These turtles love temperatures hot enough to cook an egg! This is the Savanna Side-necked Turtle, one of the largest species of turtles we work with here at the facility. While males average on the smaller side, females can grow up to the size of a dinner tray! In order to provide a proper nesting site and basking spot for this species, with a surface temperature which often exceeds a whopping 140 degrees Fahrenheit, we use three 150 watt Repticare® Heat Projectors! #turtles #reptilelover #rept
