Hi, I am from Houston, Texas. I have 2 young Salcutas, a box turtle and a Yellow Foot Tortoise. I don't know how old the Yellow Foot is but fairly big. I don't know if it's a boy or girl come to think of it. We call him/her Shelly. It is my understanding Yellow Foots are shy. I find Shelly may be cautious but it seems when she sees it's me she comes to me. While she eats from my hand often she tries to get around the food to explore my finger. I let her sniff me before but I always retreat unsure if she will bite me. i suspect she will as a means of her discovering my fingers. How powerful are their jaws? I am wondering if I should let her explore. Anybody ever been bit? Thanks. Looking forward to exploring your site!
