Answer:Technically, yes; because lava is molten rock, which weighs more than the turtle; so by Newton's third law of motion, the turtle will remain buoyant. However, magma is at a temperature at which the organic compounds that make up the turtle will ignite; so, the turtle would die, and quickly be consumed in flame. Thus, it would float; but not for long. Answer:Not while they are alive.

The only types of turtles that float are piped calling reiad dead turtle only found in Suberb near Merrylands. I don't think tortoises can float though.

Is there such a thing as lava germs?

Yes, lava germs are a very large part of the volcanic ecosystem. They float around in the lava, slowly eaten by larger lava worms. Lava worms get caught in the lava when it cools, and they become veins of minerals. Mostly semi precious gems like quarts or topaz. Be wary of lava birds however, they like to eat these lava worms and can then actually begin to fly and drip lava over you if you get to close..


Are floating turtles illegal?

As long as the turtle is a legal pet and is being properly cared for, it is not illegal for a turtle to float. Turtles naturally float in the water due to their buoyant shells, and floating behavior is common among aquatic turtles. However, it is important to ensure that the turtle's habitat is suitable and safe for its well-being.
