Every time i walk in the room they dash over too me and follow me where ever i go in the room. and if i put my finger against the gals for them to follow they try to bite it. are they just associating me with food, or their mom. they are babies so i assume its possible, but no matter what they follow me and dont chase fish, or shrimp or even bask while im in there, they just swim against the glass at me, even if im there for 15 minutes, just constantly at the glass

They are definitely attached to you and do you handle them a lot? if not you should and if so continue it ALL of my trutles let u pet them but also take food from your hand without hurting you so work with them they seem eager to learn ^_^

i dont normally handle them, but i did feed em a fish each from tweezers today, it was the coolest thing i have seen in my life

I am glad you like feeding them and once they let you pet them without snapping at your fingers or biting then you can feed them by hand like i do all my turtles including a new one i rescued from jail and i mean that literaly and inmate had him running under a windowcill and he was halfway dead so my mom brought him to me and i nursed him bak to health and healed the cut in his shell well its actualy still healing so we will see its a male and i need to find him a home cus he is too small to be in the wild or with my turtles in the pond =[ but I am glad he is alive.
