I know I'm always asking so many questions but it seems like you guy know what you're talking about.
As most of you know, I have two baby painteds. It seems they very much dislike being handled at all. One of them actually hides when he hears me talking or I come near the tank. How do I help them not be afraid of me? Or get them to like me? Lol
Everyone seems to have a connection with their turtles and tortoises and id really like to work on that with mine.
I know a lot of people say reptiles don't have feelings or trust or whatever, but I have to disagree with that. I had two geckos and they actually enjoyed when I held them, but ran when anyone else tried to handle them.
So how do I get to that point with my turtles?
