Tank Conditions

I have five baby three toed box turtles. What should the basking temp be? The cool side? The humidity? Just making sure I am close.

A box turtle keeper should answer this definitively. When I had my gulf coast box turtle a couple of years ago, I kept the basking spot around 95 and the cool side got down to around 70-75. Humidity should be high. I shot for 80ish%. I can be lower over all if a humid hide is offered.

Thanks for your input!

The larger the size of tank, more chances of humiliation will be there. The size should be of standard according to the number of trot.
