A turtles shell is a part of its' body made out of bone. Turtles grow their own shells.
nope they aren't, the snail or crab its self is the living thing, when they get too big for their shell or die the shell will sit there, until something else takes it.No, it is not. However, it was once part of a living thing (a crustacean). It's somewhat like a person's bone.
If a turtle loses its shell it is naked, homeless and dead because the turtle's spine is in its shell.
An alligator could eat a turtle in its shell, and a shark could eat a sea turtle in its shell.
As with any turtle the turtle shell is called CARAPACES.
A sea turtle has an external shell.
If a turtle does not have a shell, it can be both naked and homeless.
i think it would grow with the turtle and then when it is an adult the shell would be fully grown
Well the shell is very helpful when it comes to defense for a predator, it is the turtles home and the turtle is connected to the shell, so the shell grows with the turtle
it protects the turtle from predators.
A turtle or a snail have a shell.
Both contain bone but most turtle shells would be harder than an armadillo's shell.
If your turtle is a water turtle it should.
