Quick advances or unwarranted moves make him defensive. All I do is say his name in a specific tone every time I approach and rub his chin when I pick him up. Turtles are very affectionate animals despite what some may say.

Once I do my normal deal before grabbing him, he’s cooler than an ice cube.
