Mississippi map turtle ph required

[TortTango]

I have well water, and after testing my water, I have a ph between 7.8-8.4. Is that water too alkaline for a hatchling?

Many keepers are very successful keeping their Graptemys in alkaline water which they achieve by using a crushed coral/river rock mixture. I'd say you have a good start, so far, for keeping your turtle.
