I have had the worst luck with tank heaters, even the ones that are supposed to have the safety shut off if they are out of the water. I have replaced 3 heaters in a year for my 100 gallon tank. One actually caught on fire. Recommendations?

Found last June in eastern Pennsylvania roughly the size of a US quarter at the time. Now it’s roughly the size of a silver dollar. We’ve been calling her a ‘she’ because I don’t know why.

I don't know the backstory, I'm pretty sure they were rescued or surrendered, but these 4 turtles needed a place to stay for one night (30hours) and I volunteered since I had the room and I've fostered many animals before (rabbits, rodents and kittens), but never turtles. They told me they didn't need to eat for a day, and even though there's not much sunlight where they are (only a few hours in the morning) they're in direct sunlight for those hours (thus, the hidey house). I had a cardboard hidey but I replaced it with what you're seeing since I read it might be bad.

My question: there's one turtle with a bended shell (pyramid like). It's the one under the ramp, in the water. There's very little water because I wanted to avoid that one possibly drowning; they probably can't swim but can definitely move around. Do you think that turtle can get out? They were all in the towel at first but she went into the water and she's been there for almost 4hours now, so I'm worried maybe she can't get out? The others seem to be doing fine.

I know it's not a lot of space, but it's for one day. Should I change anything? Ty.

Hi! I have a painted turtle and I want to know, what's the best food to get for them? Pellets and greens.
