Can anybody tell me what the ideal temperature range is for my turtles basking spot? & do your turtles spasm when its too hot?

95-105 should be fine. If it gets to hot they should simply go back in the water.

Wow, my basking temps are usually in the mid to high 80's. The highest it gets is like 90. So, should I raise the temperature? If so, how? A bulb with a higher wattage or moving thd light closer to the tank?
