I have one. He doesnt leave his tank though. He's so cute!!!...
^^^ agreed.. washing your hands religiously after handling it and when you change the cage bedding ...and I wouldn't let a baby hold it for the same reason...
Turtles can carry salmonella so its best to wash your hands thoroughly and I wouldn't let the child play with the turtle.
Omg I had to bump this .... for some odd reason the last two weeks I really want a terrapin !
Lol
