Grandpa, just to be safe, put your finger there for testing first.  If it gets bitten off, at least we know it's not your grandchildren's.

  Some do and some dont you need to ask at the shop before you buy good luck

what,the grandkids???possibly.not sure about turtles though i believe some sorts do

Snapping turtles sure do bite.

My friend's turtles do...

No, go for it.   Most Pet shops have Turtle display's.  The will enjoy it. 

I grew up with turtles for pets but they were the kind sold at the 5 & dime. They didn't bite. Depends on where you get the turtle...

Please check carefully on turtles before getting one for your grandkids.  For some reason, I think they have a high likelihood of transmitting some disease.  The kids will need to THOROUGHLY wash their hands after touching the turtles, even just petting the shell with a fingertip.    If I am right biting would be a second worry.

Turtles do bite, but rarely.  When we were young, people said it was good to be bitten by turtles because that was a sign of longivity (turtles have a long life).
