Best Answer

I've got a yellow belly slider, And I've had him for a about 3 months.

Hes only a baby, But he has mistaken my finger for food, And tried to bite it, Just don't put your finger near its mouth, And I'm sure if it did bite you, It wouldn't hurt.

And I request Yellow belly and Missipi map turtles, As first turtle pets.

They're great, Just think about there future though, Due to the fact they can live for a long time. =]
