Water turtles will most likely bite, and hard sometimes!!! I wouldn't reccamend a swimming turtle to somebody with small children who will want to hold them because the turtle will not approve. Swimming turtles are adorable to watch, though, and for somebody who doesn't mind leaving them in their tank most of the time, they make excelent pets!!
Box turtles are far less likely to bite, and are way more tolerant for children judging by my experience with them. Just don't touch their heads!!!

∙ 15y agoYes. It's ok to touch their shell. The turtle will probably pull in his head, feet & tail. Those are harder to touch. Just be sure to wash your hands with soap after you play with it.
