There is an electrical charge going through the water when this happens, you can also get this from a broken heater. But the turtles are not affected because they are not grounded. Its the same thing as having a live wire lay across your car, the tires insulate you. You should remove the lamp as quickly as possible because of toxins, taking care that you don't ground yourself or you will get the shock. unplug the lamp first then remove it. Usually good to do a complete water change after this in case any toxins are left in the water. your turtle could get shocke dfrom the light. just think of it if your in the bathtub and a light fell in- you would get shocked! jut dont let it happen

Depending on the species, one or two. Turtles will keep growing through their entire lives, overcrowding or expecting them to only grow to the size of the tank is something that usually leads to dead turtles.

Can 2 mini turtles live together in the same tank?
I have kept up to 5 small turtles in a tank at once. Be careful if one becomes more dominant when it comes to feeding time. If they are all the same breed you shouldn't have any problem. Also, make sure you have enough room for them both to swim freely and both bask under a heat lamp or other heat source.
