Pet turtles generally do not bite, but when they are stimulated, they will bite as an instinctive reaction to protect themselves. Especially when facing turtles such as snapping turtles, which are more ferocious and more likely to attack humans, be careful not to catch them with your hands. When a turtle bites your finger, don't pull it away. Calm down and the turtle will automatically let go.
Common tortoises and Brazilian tortoises are less aggressive and generally do not bite people. If a bite occurs, it may be due to accidental eating, pain or irritation to the turtle, and it has an instinctive counterattack.
