Is it OK to spray with cold water?

[Menno]

I always use cold (tap)water to spray my enclosure and torts. Does that hurt them?

Luke warm water would probably be better.

Luke. But if my torts are outside near the hose I usually clean their shells with a good cold spray... Ground water here is cold..... But they love the sprinklers...

right now in phoenix the temps are cracking 100 and RV is looking for shade. When I turn on the hose, the water of course is way too hot ~ I let it cool. RV comes to a shaded area and spreads out for her soak-bath. She loves the cool water and will rest/sleep as she soaks. She is a good... very good girl. Of course, she muddies right up when we soak the big lemon tree.

Thanks all! I think that it shouldn't be a problem.

My kiddos look for the cool mud when the are outside in the phx temps now as we soak the cactus too
