Answer 1

Black shell is not good but your turtle seems to be surviving it. If you use the ultrviolet light, just keep it on during the daytime and turn it off at night. Your turtle should have a ramp and basking place to allow it to leave the water.

Feed it as much as it will eat at one time, then stop until the next feeding. Young turtles should be fed twice per day at first, then cut back to once per day and gradually changed to  once per week (summer) to once per month (winter) as adults.

Bloodworms will not hurt your turtle but live food is better: earthworms, fishes (not goldfish), and soft-bodied insects. When you can't get live food, try strips of liver dusted in bonemeal.
