yes, you can touch it. But, as with all wild animals, for the health, happiness and well being of the animal, you should leave it alone and appreciate it with your eyes only.

What can you feed your six month old snapper turtle?

Answer

Giving your turtle human food as a treat is fine, but the turtle cannot survive without a balanced diet consisting of proper turtle food. Reptomin is one of the best brands, and it is sold at most pet stores. It's a tall green can with a yellow lid, and it is definitely the healthiest food for any aquatic turtle.

Also, I would be wary of taking any turtle-care advice from anyone who apparently doesn't know the difference between a turtle and a tortoise.

Answer

actually, anything is fine. You can just feed anything. put it in front of yr tortise and if it eats it, then it likes the food. Strawberries and papaya are good choices too.
