A turtle cannot be removed from it's shell. The shell is formed from a fusion of the turtle's ribs, spine, and breastbone, with a thin layer of skin, and often scales, covering it. Removing the shell would be the equivalent of taking out all your ribs, your spine, and peeling off all the skin from below your arms down to your waist.

A hard shell
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.
A turtle's shell provides protection from predators and environmental hazards. It also serves as a structural support for the turtle's body, including organs and muscles. Additionally, the shell plays a role in regulating the turtle's body temperature and water retention.
yes the shell will grow with the turtle,, but you may be feeding to much ?if its getting to fat
Turtles have a shell To protect them from predators also have a shell because its their back bone But its on the outside of its body.
The turtleâ??s spine that runs through the entire body is attached to the shell. That would mean for the turtle to leave the shell, the spine would have to be torn out because itâ??s attached to the shell. Underneath the shell lays solid body of bones where the turtle body has very little movement.
The dorsal carapace (top shell) and ventral plastron (bottom shell) can be found on the exterior of a turtle's body. The carapace covers the turtle's back and the plastron covers its underside, providing protection and support for the turtle's internal organs.
I'm not sure but i think it is its rough shell to protect its body
No. The turtle is connected to its shell just like you're connected to your skin. Can you live without your skin? Nope. i can! xD ha jk
