You don't do this on purpose? I would sometimes do this with pellets or lettuce. ;)

Mine is 6 inches and 1/4.... but when she bites it's like she knows that it hurts and she like, only gently (but strongly haha) holds onto my finger. Though... thats when she accidentally gets my finger when i'm feeding her. I only have to lift and she lets go. Never had her bite me when shes actually mad or scared before :| i bet that would hurt

Cute pics, My Niko's just over 4" at last check and he hurts like hell so screw 6" lol

Edit: Funny but messed up part (because it hurts) is that Niko doesnt let go for atleast 10 - 15 seconds ;-/

Edit 2: I just now realized becaue of my sig that I'm like 2.5yrs in with my little one ;-)

That is so precious!
My fiance's nephew has ANOTHER turtle, one that is just a hatchling. This is in addition to Dozer, who was found as a hatchling last year and is now about 4 inches. Anyway, Dozer likes to bite at ANYTHING now. You can hold your finger above the tank and he (err..she, really) will jump up and bite! Little guy didn't grow for a while due to cold water and no UVB light, but since the upgrade (s)he has grown so much! Miss Bowser (now 7.5 inches!) used to bite at anything when she was that size, but she's smarter now and just gives you a look like "Really? How dumb do I look?"

Check out a couple of videos of when we first got Bowser....she was just under 4 inches:

What's funny about the toe video, is that she *still* is intrigued by feet/socks.
I can put a glove on and she doesn't care too much, by sit on the floor and put your toe (only with socks on!) to the tank and she will follow it. It is her life mission. 8)

i love how they like charge when they go to bite things and like bounce off the side of the tank or the thing they tried to bite.
