According to Axios any interference, including getting too close to baby turtles, could disorient them and lead them to crawl away from the water and die.
One follower wrote: ‘Oh no it’s not ok to touch the baby turtle, their shell are so sensitive at that age and you can transmit them diseases’.
While another said: ‘Ur literally blocking their way to the ocean to the ocean for a pic of you holding one of them up’.

A third said: ‘Love the shots but please never pick up a sea turtle it is beyond disruptive as so few survive. Trust me’.
With more agreeing writing: ‘Not the baby turtle’ and ‘Why would you pick up a baby turtle?’.
Further followers commented: ‘Wow, just that. They are disorientated enough without your encroachment’.

A seventh wrote: ‘Ugh, you’re not meant to pick them up’.
Axios went on to say that baby sea turtles are incredibly fragile, and being handled can easily damage their soft shell and organs or even break their food sack.
They should never be touched by humans, though, and if they are then only by trained professionals or people who have undergone training.
Unbelievable: Followers raced in their droves to the comment section
Iris’ post comes after her ex-boyfriend and Brit nominee Pa Salieu was jailed last month for two years and nine months for taking part in a mob attack on a 23-year-old man shortly after his best friend was stabbed to death.
The 25-year-old admitted violent disorder at a previous hearing, having been caught on CCTV using a tree branch to repeatedly hit the victim, who spent ten days in hospital.
The BRIT Award-nominated artist, who was named the BBC’s Sound of 2021, was cleared by a jury of a second count of violent disorder relating to a mass brawl in a nearby street minutes earlier, which led to the death of 21-year-old Fidel Glasgow, grandson of The Special’s singer Neville Staple.
Shock: Fans appeared horrified by what they saw
Salieu, who was last pictured with model Iris nine months ago, was convicted of possessing a bottle as an offensive weapon after telling jurors he smashed and brandished it to defend himself.
Following his arrest, the court heard, Salieu, from Hillfields, Coventry, told police Mr Glasgow was his best friend and then exercised his right to silence.
No one has ever been charged with Mr Glasgow’s murder, despite extensive inquiries into disorder following a music event at Coventry’s Club M in the early hours of September 1, 2018.
Snaps: She captioned the snaps ‘Saltiiisha’
Passing sentence on Salieu, who appeared in court using his full name Pa Salieu Gaye, Judge Peter Cooke told him: ‘Anyone harbouring the view that you are a young man being hard done by should pause to reflect that despite having a conviction for carrying a knife three years earlier – which resulted in a suspended sentence – in the course of these events you used two bottles and a stick.
‘It was your intention to turn a bottle into a jagged weapon.’
Salieu and others involved in the violence had acted like a ‘mob,’ the judge said, adding: ‘The case illustrates the dangers for any young man of acting with a pack mentality and getting involved in mass disorder.
‘If you do that somebody is likely to end up seriously injured or dead.
‘What happened to Fidel could have happened to anyone in that melee.’

During the sentencing hearing for the singer and six other men, prosecutor Oliver Weetch said stabbing victim Ikemefuna Okosisi-Ezeanyika, known as Bobby, was chased away from the scene of Mr Glasgow’s murder by a group including Salieu.
CCTV showed Salieu using a piece of wood to strike the victim, before he was brought to the ground in nearby Queen Victoria Road, near Coventry’s inner ring road.
The footage also caught Salieu – wearing a white top – hurling a bottle and climbing railings as Mr Okosisi-Ezeanyika was pursued.
Mr Okosisi-Ezeanyika, who suffered a brain injury and a stab wound to his side, was treated in intensive care, and needed emergency surgery on a wound to his abdomen.
Offering mitigation for Salieu, defence barrister Jonathan Woodcock said the death of Mr Glasgow was not the only time the artist had lost a friend.
Mr Woodcock said Salieu had used a stick rather a branch and it was not easy to determine how many blows he had delivered.
The barrister added: ‘It’s a very unattractive offence, of course it is. He is not involved in bringing ‘Bobby’ to the floor.
Awful: After the brawl (pictured: CCTV of the incident) Mr Glasgow was found injured at the rear of the nightclub and was rushed to hospital – where he later died
‘He does make an effort to keep (another defendant) away – it’s to his credit that he does that. He was not party to the most serious aspects of the violence.’
Slough-born Salieu still has shrapnel in his body after being shot in 2019, the court heard.
The attack on Mr Okosisi-Ezeanyika occurred after those ‘running him to ground’ had witnessed him being attacked near Club M, Judge Cooke said.
He told those involved in the violent disorder in which Mr Okosisi-Ezeanyika was kicked, whipped with a belt and punched: ‘You knew, because you were there or thereabouts, that he was the lone individual being pursued and attacked by the pack.’

During his sentencing remarks, the judge opted not to impose any financial penalty on Salieu, telling him: ‘I want you to focus on getting your life back on track… coming out and making the most of your talents, which I trust you will be able to do.’
Passing a sentence of 27 months for violent disorder and a further six months, to be served consecutively, for possession of an offensive weapon, the judge said: ‘I have no difficulty in accepting you are a young man who has already suffered impacts on your career by virtue of these proceedings.
‘But I observe that it is a career that has flourished nonetheless.’
Judge Cooke also said he was taking into account that Salieu was close with Mr Glasgow, and that the star had made ‘laudable’ efforts to assist people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
