Why is it so hot during the day but extremely cold at night?
Because during the day, the Earth's atmosphere is heated by the sun. At night-time, the sun is on the other side of the globe. So, the reason why it's cold at night is because the sun isn't in the sky to keep the atmosphere on the night-side of the Earth warm. The Moon is capable of reflecting light from the Sun, providing the night-time side of Earth with a little light, if there was no Moon, we wouldn't be able to see at night-time. However, the Moon cannot reflect the Suns heat.

Your baby snapping turtle would have night and day in the wild, so in your terrerium, it also needs darkness, but the tank still needs to maintain the same temperature.

For a turtle in a 20 gallon tank what is the temperature for the light?
Room temperature may be sufficient during the summer months, but a heat source must be provided at other times of the year. Keep the temperature in your tank between 80 and 86 degrees. If your turtle is too cold, it will not eat and will get sick. You can heat your tank with an incandescent light or a submergible heater. The best way is to use both. Leave the incandescent light on for about 8 hours a day, and set the thermostat on the heater to 80 degrees. Night time temperatures as low as 65 degrees are safe. If you use an incandescent light, you can turn it off at night

Should a turtle be swollen and sticking out of its shell.?
Short answer: no. If your turtle's skin is swollen and bulging out of the shell, it is probably due to the fact that the turtle is not spending enough time out of water. A turtle does not live solely in water. Forcing it to constantly live in an aquatic environment causes the body to fill with moisture, causing it to swell. Give it sunlight and time to roam outside every day.
