I have to admit I am amazed at how my turtle acts. In fact it started snapping today. You could actually hear it snapping its mouth shut. I hate to say it but I don't know why this keeps happening. Everytime someone handles the turtle (which is mainly me but once in a great while my parents will) the turtle is always trying to bite us. Its mouth is always open and ready to strike and it isn't a hi I'm opening my mouth to breathe bit, it's a hi I'm ready to bite you now bit.
I have to find out a way to stop this because when the turtle gets bigger, if this keeps up, I will have to either give the turtle to a zoo or something because I simply cannot risk someone losing a finger over my turtle's overly aggressive behavior. It has bit me before and so I try to be extra careful around it. Is there anything I can do to stop this? It was mentioned that maybe I don't handle the turtle enough bit I always thought it was best just to leave the turtle be.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
