My 6 year old daughter found out that even the cutest baby turtles can put a hurtful bite on you. She was holding a teenincy one (I'm talking between a nickle and a quarter size) playing with it. A few minutes later, a blood curdling yell, followed by screaming. That little guy with a mouth that would be hard pressed to open wide enough to fit a 12 penny nail had gotten my little girl on the inside of the thumb. No broken skin, but a helluva pinch, and a newfound respect for turtles.
