Are turtles safe to handle I don't know if I heard somewhere that they can carry diseases, or is it terrapins ? Cheers mike

hey mike, it all depends on the type of turtle and your location, here in Australia you can pick them up and handle them without much risk of contracting disease but there are certain species like the snapping turtle that will happily take a chunk out of you if they get the chance so just be careful but you should be fine :)
Thank you very much for your reply, cheers mike
