Turtles like to be left alone. They will get skiddish if you keep reaching into the tank to grab it. Just let it be. They like to relax under the basking light and go in for several dives throughout the day and of course, looks forward to the part of the day when you feed it! Remember, do not feed it more than once a day and the total amount of food fed to the turtle should be about the size of its head. Do not overfeed it. Obesity is common among turtles due to handler's inexperience with caring for turtles. Good luck!

You could just be sure to wash your hands good after handleing the turtle. Or choose a different pet.
When handling your pet gerbil it is extremely important to take safety pro cautions. Always wash your hands before and after interaction. Not only should you handle your gerbil with care but too also shove it in your pants. Do this once or twice a day with your gerbil and the two of you will have the best relationship with your pet. enjoi!
Turtles don't benefit from being petted except that an owner who pets his turtle is more likely to be engaged in looking for injuries, discoloration and overall health. A small turtle that never gets used to being handled will become a large turtle that bites.
A pet turtle can be about a 50 years old.
Yes, but only if they handle them carefully. The tarantula is docile and its bite isn't as deadly as often believed, but it is painful.
I think so. My friend had a turtle as a pet.
Peter got his turtle from the pet store. He bought it at the pet store.
At least 24 hours after feeding it
Is there any evidence that the turtle has consumed food or left droppings?
Put a top on its tank and tape it down. If it roams the house, then,you should not own a pet.
