I use a thermometer and keep it around 90. I don't worry too much if its only 86 or as high as 92.

Thanks for the quick response! Ye I've been using a thermometer and keep it at around 92, was just unsure whether that was too hot/cold as shes always trying to escape, I think she just doesn't like baths!

Most torts get used to it, and even if they don't its good exercise.

Joe regards it as his right to attempt escape from everything, not just the barh. Even he can't get out of the human bath though. I used to bath him in the washing up bowl, but he kept tipping it over as he tried to climb out! :D
