Do red eared slider turtles bite?

Previous Post: No, they nibble. DUH.

Slorg165: ...that was a retarded answer,how the hell can turtles nibble!? MICE nibble,RATS nibble,TURTLES snap (bite,more of a snap though). ,':\

...but yes,red ear slider turtles do bite,so I'd suggest you dont put your fingers near its mouth. But MY turtle doesnt bite,Herbert,hee hee. :) I think Its because when ever he tried to bite,I just blew in his mouth and then hed stop. :p My turtles weird. :3

They bite because they are scared!! :)
