    u want a turtle that can bite you,you are so weird……i suggest you not to get a snapper cause it can make your finger it’s lunch …i do recommend a red ear slider cause it will hurt but wont get ur finger off

    turtles bite – just like any other animal does… especially if they think your fingers are food. And yes, it does hurt. Don’t touch their heads and you’ll be fine. Oh, and don’t get a snapping turtle. haha.

    The male turtle have longer claws and are smaller than the female, also the male turtle have a more pretty pattern under their shell.

    Y-You mean, my turtles DON’T love me?! *sob*

    Just kidding. I’m taking care of my water turtles as best as I can, but I don’t have a proper tank. However, they seem pretty healthy. Is it normal for aquatic turtles to NOT bite?

    a terrapin is a smaller breed than regular/common turtles. common/regular being red,yellow,orange eared sliders. an example of a terrapin would be something more along the lines of a mud turtle.
