    Biting turtle?

    I've been hand feeding my turtle, and now whenever I put my hand in there to move his decorations or something, he thinks I'm food and tries to bite me. If i don't hand feed him, he doesn't see the food because hes far too busy clawing at the glass and saying "Feed me!". What should I do?
