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.

How long do you keep a turtle as a pet?
How Long you can keep a Turtle as a petWell, it depends on the turtle type. And how you take care of it. Most tortises can live for almost 160 years. But turtles, not as much. If you take care of it properly, then it will live longer. But if at some time you don't want, or can't take care of it then you would have kept them, what ever months or years, or maybe even weeks. That's all I can try to answer for your Q, glad to help! :)
How does a painted turtle protect itself?
Like any other turtles. Make sure that you have a big enough habitat for him/her. Make are there is enough water in the habitat (at least 1 inch above their shell because turtle can drown.) Have a proper basking area such as a rock, and have a heating light above the basking area.

How do you care for a baby painted turtle without uv light?
You don't. That's like saying "How do you feed a human with only water?" A turtle needs UVB and UVA light no matter what, they can't live without it. It is what allows them their shell to grow. If they don't have UVB or UVA light, their body will grow until their shell can't take it anymore and 'pop', dead turtle.
