She does this in the morning when I wake up because shes hungry but shes starting to do it in the afternoon to and shes not hungry what the heck am I suppose to do watch her swim full speed into the glass and forget about it? Oh and another thing my western painted turtle has a few black spots on him a about the size of a babys finger nail what should I do about that?

Ok... you're going to need 4 things for this project.
1. A 110 gallon fish tank w/stand, filter, and lights
2. scotch tape
3. paper
4. a reptile veterinarian
Set up the tank. Put the turtles in it. Then tape up some paper over the part of the tank that the turtle's running into. Then take the turtle with black spots to the vet.

It reveals the depth to which evolution can sink when it takes the downward path and strips animals to the irreducible minimum able to perpetuate a predatory life in its naked horror."
