No. Some of them do, some of them don't. And salmonella is much more common with Do_all_red_eared_sliders_have_salmonellathan with adults. Just to be safe, you should always wash your hands after touching them. You should also wash your hands before touching them, because turtles can get sick from germs that humans carry.

What turtles have samonella?

Almost all wild turtles have salmonella. However, that doesn't mean that a human will definitely get it from a turtle that carries the bacteria. In fact, humans have natural E. coli (the bacteria that causes salmonella) in our intestines. Washing your hands before and after handling the turtle, and being careful not to let small children put turtles in their mouths will go a long way in preventing salmonella.
