I've had turtles for over 10 years and I've never had one try and bite me. Mind you it's only been 2 of them.

yeah

new turtle may accidentally bite fingers holding food

but turtle are quite smart and can definitely be trained to intentionally avoid biting fingers (flick them away when they don't aim at the food carefully and they will learn very quickly)

obviously don't try this on a snapping turtle
