It is most suitable for flame turtles to keep the temperature between 23-30 ℃ under normal breeding, but the young flame turtles have poor disease resistance and high requirements for the environment, so breeders need to keep the water temperature around 25 ℃. When they become adults, they will adapt to a wider range and the temperature will not need to be controlled too strictly.

But flame turtles have a habit of hibernation, and when the temperature is lower than 15 ℃, they begin to hibernate. When the temperature is lower than 5 ℃, it will enter deep hibernation. After entering hibernation, flame turtles cannot be raised at too high a temperature. Generally, after hibernation, it is most appropriate to control the water temperature at about 5 ℃.

Whether the flame turtle needs to be heated depends on the actual situation and the temperature. Generally speaking, it is not necessary to heat the flame turtle in summer, and when the temperature is high, it needs to be cooled. However, in spring and autumn, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the fluctuation of environment will have an impact on their normal life. Breeders need to use heating rods to keep the water temperature above 20 ℃, so that they can live normally.

In winter, they will hibernate, and they don't need heating at this time. As long as the water temperature is kept at about 5 ℃, they can survive the winter safely. Flame tortoises need to be heated or not depends on the temperature of the breeding area. If the temperature is suitable, it does not need to be heated.
