Can a turtle go out its shell?
No the shell is apart of its skeleton, like it's spine and ribs A turtles shell is built into bone structure. Parts of the backbone and the ribs, among other bones, make up the inner structure of the shell. This means that it cannot get out of its shell, as the shell is not separate from the body.

snail shells can be brown or gray, sometimes speckled. i heard they can be green too, but i have never seen it. the shell is part of the snail, a hardened skin, so it usually looks somewhat like the snail. they don't have to look spinny or spiraly, but sometimes are. it may have something to do with what they eat. . . maybe.
What is the youngest part of the snail shell?
The youngest part of the snail shell is the apex, or the tip of the shell, which is formed first during the snail's development. As the snail grows, it adds new layers to the shell, typically in a spiral manner, meaning the older, more mature parts of the shell are located further down and away from the apex. The growth occurs as the snail secretes calcium carbonate, which contributes to the shell's overall structure and size.
What do snail do with their apex?
The apex of a snail refers to the topmost part of its shell, which is formed as the snail grows. Snails use their shells primarily for protection against predators and environmental conditions. The apex, being the oldest part of the shell, provides structural stability and contributes to the overall shape, helping the snail to retreat into its shell when threatened. Additionally, the shell can assist in moisture retention, which is vital for the snail's survival.
Will a snail live if it's shell is cracked?
It depend on what type of Snail it is because most snail produce their own shells, so the type of snail matters because some snails grow shells quicker than others and have a chance of surviving than the ones that can't grow their shell as quick.

Where does a snail get its shell?
Note: I copied this answer directly from: http://rochester.kidsoutandabout.com/main-columns/nature/snailshells.html Snails are hatched from eggs. When they hatch, they eat most of the shell, but a small part of it stays with them and that is the beginning of their shell. As the snail grows, so does its shell -- in a spiral shape. New shell is added at the opening of the shell. In the center of the spiral is the part of the shell that the snail began life with. The shell is made from several layers. The thin outer layer is made from an organic substance known as conchiolin. The thicker layer underneath is formed from three layers of crystalline calcium carbonate, similar to the chicken egg of which you may be more familiar. The color of the shell depends on the types of food the snail is eating and also the type of snail.
How do snails make there shell?
Snails are born with their shell. As the snail grows, so does its shell -- in a spiral shape. New shell is added at the opening of the shell by the mantle. In the center of the spiral is the part of the shell that the snail began life with. The shell is made from several layers. The thin outer layer is made from an organic substance known as conchiolin. The thicker layer underneath is formed from three layers of crystalline calcium carbonate, similar to the chicken egg of which you may be more familiar.

Do snails leave there shell?
No, snails do not leave their shells voluntarily. Their shell is a part of their body and provides protection as well as structural support. If a snail's shell is damaged or destroyed, it can be detrimental to the snail's health and survival.
What do snails need to get out their shells?
The only way I know of is to strip down the tank, sterilise everything and replace everything that can not be sterilised. A method of keeping snails under control is to have Clown Loaches or Puffer fish in the tank. They will seek out and eat the snails.
