i've only raised 1 painted(a male eastern) out of the all the turtles that i've had,but he eats the same as my others-i make a mix out of reptomin and terrafauna turtle pellets,freeze dried baby shrimp and freeze dried krill,and supplement that with live small crayfish and grass shrimp that i catch myself.the shrimp and krill really fire up the reds and oranges on the skin and shell,too.my spotteds practically glow.
