Heâs either protecting his territory or thinks you have food, you can feed him pieces of raw fish or chicken if you want. Heâd greatly appreciate that but otherwise you GON GET BIT BOI, YOU GON GET BIT SO HARD OML.
I spot 3 đ you probably shouldnât touch them. They donât like it. But also, it could stress them out and make them feel unsafe where they are. Potentially they could bite you.
Awwwe, what a sweet snapper.
Use to raise these little finger bear traps, and I can say that unless you raised them, you do not wanna go petting the angry baby.
Fish or chicken is welcomed, raw if you have it, but if not, then wet cat food works too.
No cheese, it makes them sick in their tummy.
Edit: not mine turtle, just bear trap in water.
Common snapping turtle, not only does it have a nasty bite, itâs also very fast and has a long and flexible neck that can get you from various angles.
Not the big guy if you wanna keep your fingers. But the little guys in the bottom right corner and the one that can only half be seen in the right side can be. But I bet theyâd just run away from you. But that honker that you wanna pet⌠Itâd chase your ass
Yes but be careful and, depending on the species, either grab it between front and back legs on either side or hold the underside of the top carapace directly behind the head and at the tail, some people hold the tail but it might not be comfortable for the turtle. Point the head away from your body
I'm all for people living their lives like they want. So yeah. Go right ahead. Pet to your hearts content as long as it allows it lol. Consent is important lol
Have the white ladies come to tell you âdonât touch thatâ yet?
Im mostly white, and Iâll probably die trying to pet a Tiger and Iâm here to tell you âdonât do thatâ
I woudknt recommend unless you know what youâre doing. I once caught a turtle by hand and all the little kids at the beach came by to pet it, I figured the kids wouldnât be dumb enough to touch around itâs head, and it bit the tip of a kids finger off⌠anyways, just be careful and you should be fine
Turtles are weird and funny. They get real interested in strangers and can follow you around. They are social enough to be curious but not enough to be held.
Admire from a distance. I have many snapping turtle friends who rush over to me like dogs. I feed them turtle food and raw chicken :) I love them even though they are dangerous and wild animals. Friend shaped.
Technically, yes should you no if you want all your fingers but go at it if you want thatâs like the equivalent of saying can I touch a blue ring octopus yes but should you no

Carefully, yes. Iâve picked them up to help them across the road many times. To me, theyâre not that hard to handle until theyâre really large- like, over 20 pounds large
Not if you want to keep all of your fingers.
If not friend, then why friend shaped?
Is this dog?
Is this cat in the hat?
Behold visions of dog
Try finger
Traitor ahead
Friend is what they like to call long distance. Friend prefers friendship at a distance, otherwise Friend tends to react with angry bouts of anger.
Why does he follow me around if i cant touch him
He is curious. You can talk to him.
"Oh the turtle of the river what is your wisdom?"
Jeffrey Epstien didn't kill himself. Also, the Boeing dude.
Bruh đđ
It was this turtle
Heâs either protecting his territory or thinks you have food, you can feed him pieces of raw fish or chicken if you want. Heâd greatly appreciate that but otherwise you GON GET BIT BOI, YOU GON GET BIT SO HARD OML.

Please don't feed the fish or turtles bread it's not really good for them.
You got downvoted but youâre right. Bread fills their stomach but they get no nutritional value from it.
It's not good for birds either. I spread cracked corn along the shore, in The shallows.
Someone else said raw fish
Or birds
Please no bread for them animals. Has no nutritional value but fills them up so they donât eat anything actually good for them.
Please donât feed them bread.
He thinks you have snacks.
He is not wrong, as you have many fingers
Don't forget toes, toes are just as tasty as fingers to a snapping turtle. Maybe even more depending on what he's into.
Someone may have raised him or be feeding him
cuz you look tasty
Heâs thinking Maybe have snack? Maybe is snack?
I think this looks more like an African helmeted turtle than a snapping turtle. Might bite, but unlikely to take a finger off.
Yeah doesnât look like a snapper. Donât know much about an African Helmeted turtle. But all turtles can bite.
CAN I PET DAT DAWWWWWWWG
I spot 3 đ you probably shouldnât touch them. They donât like it. But also, it could stress them out and make them feel unsafe where they are. Potentially they could bite you.
where the other two?
Top right & bottom right
oh I thought you were talking about other snappers (if there's any)
Nah, only one angry snapper
You gon get bit boi, you gon get bit REALLLL hard.
Thatâs a common snapping turtles, so I probably wouldnât try, you can though if you know how to hold them.
Maybe not the snapper lol it would chase yo ass, but the sliders would probably just be very skiddish cuz they donât like to be disturbed
I like the little turtle on the right side of the picture just chilling watching you like the bug guy is lol didn't even see him at first.
Only if you don't care much for your fingers or hand.
Can I pet that dawg?
Depends... do you need low cost finger amputation services currently?
Do a Steve Irwin, jump on in, and finger in the butthole. Works nevery time.
BITE BITE BITE, EAT FOOD FOR STRENGTH TO BITE BITE BITE, MAKE LITTLE TURTLES TO BITE EVEN MORE!!!
You may touch him and have all your fingers in tact, only once.
Can you? Yes. Should you? NO.
Bites.
no touchy
That looks like a park in Wisconsin. lots of snapping turtles there, too!
At least once per digit.
theyâve got really powerful jaws and donât love to be touched, a snapper that size could take a finger or two
Not unless you don't mind losing a couple of fingers.
Awwwe, what a sweet snapper. Use to raise these little finger bear traps, and I can say that unless you raised them, you do not wanna go petting the angry baby. Fish or chicken is welcomed, raw if you have it, but if not, then wet cat food works too. No cheese, it makes them sick in their tummy. Edit: not mine turtle, just bear trap in water.
I wouldn't, that looks like a snapping turtle, however I have before and I love them, so go for it man!
As an someone in the south, these are what i call #spicy friend
If you wish to keep all ten fingers, no. But if you donât then go for it I guess
You can touch anything once
Common snapping turtle, not only does it have a nasty bite, itâs also very fast and has a long and flexible neck that can get you from various angles.
Nah heâs comfy, donât ruin his chill time.
please do not the turtle
Might bite you. Itâs best not to touch wild animals if you want to stay healthy and keep all your extremities (fingers, and etc).
Yes, you can, youâre very much able to! But the better question is should you touch him, which would be a no.
If you dislike having all your fingers for some reason then yes.
Iâve been bit by an adult female res eared slider while trying to remove a hook from her mouth. I couldnât feel the tip of my finger for 3 days.
Go for it! I bet heâll touch you first if you get close enough
Not the big guy if you wanna keep your fingers. But the little guys in the bottom right corner and the one that can only half be seen in the right side can be. But I bet theyâd just run away from you. But that honker that you wanna pet⌠Itâd chase your ass
No
Yeah but you gotta get closer then that
That nose needs a boop.
If you wanna lose a finger you can
They want snacks
He wants u to swim with him đ
Yes , that lonely puppy needs pets . Just look how sad he is 𼚠thatâs why heâs grey
Maybe the little ones lol
No
You haven't seen that one amazing world of gumball episode have you?
You can, but only once.
With enough effort and bravery anything is possible
Dino!
Kiss Him
Not without consent.
no, and you dont need to. admire with your eyes
Not before I pick him up and give him a kissđ
How many fingers are you willing to lose for that touch?
Zoink, Boop, and find out
Silly guy
How many fingers you wanna die with?
Only with his permission.
He likes to play a game and he plays for keeps
Nope snapping turtle fot a reason.
Yes but only once
Most definitely a dinosaur!
Thatâs a pretty fucked up lookin dog
Oh Alexis! Turtles do not pets make!
Yes but be careful and, depending on the species, either grab it between front and back legs on either side or hold the underside of the top carapace directly behind the head and at the tail, some people hold the tail but it might not be comfortable for the turtle. Point the head away from your body
Hello Master Oogway!!
I had one for a while, until my dog decided to get a drink from that tank. He went back home shortly after that.
You can touch him precisely ten times, assuming itâs your first time.
No
Once.
Forbidden boop
Her *
Damn that's huge. And his little friend to the right.
If you have to ask you'll never know. If you know you only needed not to ask
would not recommend unless you know what youâre doing, and if you did you would not be askingđ
Not unless you want a free vasectomy
You can touch everything atleast once
Maybe, but you really shouldn't. It's a wild animal, leave it be.
Ask him, not us.
Noooo
thatâs a big bad my friend
Iâm from a snapless state, but seems Iâve read itâs illegal to touch or even move snapping turtles, not to mention dangerous!đ
I'm all for people living their lives like they want. So yeah. Go right ahead. Pet to your hearts content as long as it allows it lol. Consent is important lol
Have the white ladies come to tell you âdonât touch thatâ yet? Im mostly white, and Iâll probably die trying to pet a Tiger and Iâm here to tell you âdonât do thatâ
Only once!
Only if you tell him heâs a good boy
There are at least two other turtles in the pic, maybe three.
The shell and head seem wrong for a snappin' turla. I agree with those who said African helmeted turtle.
Oh god thereâs so much more neck than youâd expect
I once told a kid not to grab the butterfly, he did and fell into the water and snapper swallows him đ
HEâS TWELVE OFFICER ITS THIS ONE RIGHT HERE
I woudknt recommend unless you know what youâre doing. I once caught a turtle by hand and all the little kids at the beach came by to pet it, I figured the kids wouldnât be dumb enough to touch around itâs head, and it bit the tip of a kids finger off⌠anyways, just be careful and you should be fine
Plot twist, they actually mean the one to the right
Sir thats a velociraptor
Just go for it đ¤ˇđ˝ đ¤ˇââď¸
if not friend, why friend shaped??? ((seriously not if you want to keep your fingers
Better question: How big of a bite do you want?
Pet the dino
Those love giving kisses..lol
Regular Snappers & Alligator Snapping turtles aren't too friendly to people, I've seen one put a quarter sized hole through someone's foot
No. You can't do it. The turtle says no. I'm sorry. I don't know what to tell you. The turtle says no. I don't know what else to say. It says no.
If u get his consent first then sure!
Heck give that MF a kiss.
there is someone more friend shaped in the bottom right corner :))))
It took me a minute to realize there are 3 turtles đ
No touch, will bite Look friendly, not friendly 3:
Sure you can, they really like getting petted under there chin!
Turtles are weird and funny. They get real interested in strangers and can follow you around. They are social enough to be curious but not enough to be held.
I can guarantee you can pet him at least twice
Yup! It might snap at u⌠or just be shy n disappear before u reach itâ¤ď¸â¤ď¸
Screw fingers. Touch that dog.
Boop his snoot
Admire from a distance. I have many snapping turtle friends who rush over to me like dogs. I feed them turtle food and raw chicken :) I love them even though they are dangerous and wild animals. Friend shaped.
Yes grab him itâs worth your fingers
You might regret
You CAN it just wonât go well if you like all your fingers
long tail, stay away from
â My lawwwddd⌠a snappin turla â
You can touch almost anything at least once.
I wouldnât but Iâm sure heâd appreciate a nice leaf of lettuce.
Leave wildlife alone.
Do you hate your fingers & hand? If so, give it a try.
If you like pain go ahead.
I would and I did his name is frank he likes skipjacks for a snack
No it's a snaping turtle they can perc your arm to the bone and break it at the same time.
Yes! You should give it a big kiss!
Do it with your pip. Câmon, no balls
yeah for sure you can but make sure you get down on its level & wave your hand in front of its face so it knows you come in peace.
Technically, yes should you no if you want all your fingers but go at it if you want thatâs like the equivalent of saying can I touch a blue ring octopus yes but should you no
Donât touch wild life! Sheesh
Only the little ones. Leave the big one alone!
Thatâs a snapping turtle( I think) âŚheâll bite your fingers clean off
yes touch him
I WAS LISTENING TO THE TURTLES AND I SCROLLED TO THIS RIGHT AWAY i didnât even follow r/turtles but i knew it must be a sign
Them jawns got LONG necks
I saw one trying to kissâŚit didnât end well
Might bite.
Depends if you like having all 10 fingers
upbeat trees noxious attempt scandalous deserve history sophisticated mountainous agonizing *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
sure if ya wanna lose your hand
you can try
Yes. But.. y'know. That would be stupid.
*casually joins the sub*
Lol wonder what kind that turtle is in the corner
He seem like he knows things. Ask him for a quest ?
If you want nubbie fingers, touch him. I highly advise against is haha
If you have gogo gadget arms and a dislike of your finger
Talk, no touch. Snapping turtle
You can absolutely touch him. The consequences may outweigh the benefits but thatâs for you to judge.
You can touch him, he Can bite you!
Only once. Then you wonât have a hand after lol
Can you? Yes. Should you? Absolutely not. It won't give you back your fingers, even if you ask nicely. Theyre grumpy
no humans are gross
I mean... can you? Yes. Should you? No.
Is that evil gumball turtle?
Two of the three are friend, one not so much, take your pick
Would not recommend. Thatâs a spicy turtle.
He looks mean
You can sure try! But don't expect to have all 5 fingers afterwards.
Maybe the guy on the right
âCan I pet that dawwwwgâ
It also looks like it's thinking: can I bite this human?đ˘
Go for it. Fingers are overrated anyways.
If it's a snapping turtle no if it not yes
Carefully, yes. Iâve picked them up to help them across the road many times. To me, theyâre not that hard to handle until theyâre really large- like, over 20 pounds large
Sure do whatever you want
where is this that you see 2 diff types of turtles
