There are no poisoness turtles. They have no way to inject venom. The only thing you have to be careful for is salmonella poisoning that some turtles can carry, but that is true of a lot of reptiles.

In fact all frogs are poisounous, but most species are harmless to humans. Exceptions are the famous poison dart frogs, and several species of the genus Atelopus, wich is a group of toads. Also well known is de sonora desert toad, for its hallucinating effects of the skin secretions on humans.

If you mean if they bite you, they have no fangs and no venom so they are not poisonous.

If you mean if you eat them, then I'm going to say yes even though they aren't because you shouldn't eat map turtles. They're so cute!
