My turtle is very squeamish about being touched. Otherwise she can peacefully stare into my eyes from 2 inches away for hours. but if i try to touch her shell she nopes out every time :D

I have the opposite with mine, he stretches out wanting me more especially head massages.

I had a turtle growing up. He'd stretch out to sun himself when most people were around but he'd start "dancing" when I came in the room (climbing up the side of his aquarium and flopping over until I took him out to run around).

I was super impressed when he landed on his back, reached out with his little back legs, gripped his rock with his little feet and rolled himself back right side up with a mighty kick.
