Yes, you can let them crawl around on the floor for awhile. They can be out of water for extended periods of time, no problem. Although, if you can, it would be a good idea to find a cardboard box or something for the turtle to crawl around in, especially if it's a baby. For two reasons:

1) Baby turtles can get lost in the house. When I was growing up, we lost a baby turtle in the house (over a week later, we found him -- ALIVE -- thank God). And at least 4 people on this site have asked questions about how to find a lost baby turtle in the house. So, apparently it happens often enough to be a serious concern.

2) Turtles can carry germs that make people sick. BUT they can also get sick from household germs that don't bother humans. And even in the cleanest home, the floor is covered with germs.
