You can touch them, but they can carry leprosy... so not everyone does. They remind me of snapping turtles, just without the snap.

Eeek...scary :)
Oh, leprosy is not a nice disease, so I get why some people prefer not to touch them. I suppose it's best to put on gloves at least.
Leprosy not being nice could be a little bit of an understatement lol. Thanks for the info though as I would have been dumb enough to try an pet one if I ever see one.
Haha, that's true! Well, they do seem very petable, so I get why you would do that ;)
