I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped me out with all the advice. One more situation.

Her shell is turning brown. Why is this?

It's losing it's green color? If the shell is healthy, the change could be just because your turtle is growing. Usually the nice green color is found on small hatchlings.

so the bright green color is just because they're hatchlings? It's just the top of her shell that is turning brown.

Could you post a photo of the shell when it's dry? That would be most helpful.
