That's what I thought - that they won't bite you if you've been nice to them, based on the tiny baby terrapins I used to play with.
Yeah... =( They're really badly treated back home T_T You know, once I knew this man who kept a huge softshell turtle - freshwater kind & almost a metre in length (about 60-70cm being the shell) - in a tub in an unused bathroom below his house. Later on he slaughtered it & ate it T_T It's terrible!! Sometime after that when my dad tricked me into eating turtle meat I absolutely yelled at him T_T
