scute
The red-bellied turtle actually has a hard shell, as do all turtles. The shell of a turtle is made up of bony plates covered by a layer of keratin. This shell provides protection and support for the turtle's body.
I( think they are called scuta
turtle shells are made from small, flat, bony shields or plates
A turtle shell is a unique structure composed of two main parts: the carapace (the upper shell) and the plastron (the lower shell). These parts are made of bony plates covered by a layer of keratin, giving the shell both strength and flexibility. The shell serves as a protective armor, safeguarding the turtle from predators and environmental hazards. Additionally, it plays a role in buoyancy and thermoregulation.
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.
yes as long as its only one or two pieces at a time and not covered in fungus
The only reptile with a shell is the turtle. The shell is a unique feature that provides protection and support for the turtle's body. Turtles are known for their distinctive hard shells that are made up of two parts: the upper carapace and the lower plastron.
A green sea turtle's shell is called a carapace. The carapace is the upper part of the turtle's shell and is typically heart-shaped, featuring a smooth surface that can vary in color from olive to dark brown. This shell provides protection and is an important part of the turtle's anatomy. The underside of the shell is known as the plastron.
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
