I'm ordering 3 baby Slider turtles and wanted to know will they need a heat lamp as soon as I get them or could I wait until they're older? Will being without a light have an affect on them?

You'll need both a repti-sun 5.0 and a basking heat lamp. Especially now that they are hatchlings. There shells need these bulbs/lights to develop properly.
