No
if u don't have to do the surgery i recommend not doing it because after his shell is taken off he has about 1 year to live if your lucky 3 my turtle had to take off his shell because it was cracked when he was born and after the surgery he lived to be 2
You should take it to the vet because a soft shell is a sign of shell rot and needs to be treated or the animal will die. But give the shell about a week and see if it is hard and if not then take ur turtle to the vet
A turtle or tortoise
Turtle shells are a part of a turtle's body! A shell is basically made of bones (60 meshed together) and their spine is actually embedded into its shell. Contrary to what they show in cartoons, turtles can't take of their shell any more than you can take off your skin.
Oddly enough, a turtle's shell is actually attached to it's body. It is not like it can take it off and find a new one. A turtle's shell is actually part of it's vertabre. It's like extended bone. Otherwise, it couldn't grow as the turtle does.
sharks take off the shell then eat the meat.
just take it's shell off
Soft shell turtle eggs typically take around 70-90 days to hatch, but this can vary depending on factors such as temperature and humidity. It's important to ensure that the eggs are kept in a suitable environment during this incubation period to increase the chances of successful hatching.
i think its the same thing as a turtle where the spinal cord is connected to the shell so if you take the shell off in a matter of time it will die.
turtles do sometimes hiss at you if you try to pet its shell
After about a million years the toothe of a shark will become black but still maintain many characteristics of fresh shark teeth. That is the way shark teeth "Petrify" while in water. While they are buried in land they will take more time for the pressure of the sand or dirt to "petrify" a shark tooth. Sometimes about 1.6 million years or more.
