Besides the OP can turned it off during feeding time or basking time.

I agree on the basking area which can easily made with eggcrates + zipties purchased from homedepot.

to OP bare tank is the best, unlike softshells they dont need to hide/bury themselves and cleaning is a lot easier.
you could do that, but when i did that with mine... my tank went from 100% water to 30%.. 70% of the water was on the floor.. i fucked my self over, the tube shifted went all over the wall to the ground

i think the OP should just keep it in his tub LOL fast drain and easy access to water * after you quarantine obvs*
