How do you care for a painted turtle that almost drowned?
Well you have to have a UV Light, a Turtle Dock, a Filter, a Heater, and at the least a 10 gallon tank. You need 1 gallon per inch of turtle. I have two baby painted turtles and they eat "Baby Shrimp and Krill" and eat alot each day. You should get some plants and gravel to put in the tank too. Turtles love to swim, so in the summer you can build a little pond and let the turtle live there until late autumn. You need to leave the UV light on at least 6 hours a day.

1 How much water should you put your turtle in?
this depends on what kind of turtle you have, a terapin, or water turtle, requires alot of water, it depends on the age, and size of the turtle as well as the number of turtles in the aquarium, a good rule of thumb is for each adult turtle you need at least 50 gallons of water, just remember they also need a place to bask, in other words, get completely out of the water and get some uv light, and dry there shells. if they stay in the water all the time and don't get a chance to dry off they will get shell rot, wich is very painfull and often faital to them, I set my aquarium up so that they have most of the room for swimming and a small floating surface for them to bask, we have a 55 gallon aquarium to house 4, 6 month old turtles. just make sure they have enough room to bask and not be in the water, or having to touch another turtle, and you should be fine!
