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.

Turtles do not "get out of their shells" as their shells are a part of their skeletal structure and cannot be removed. The shell is fused to the turtle's body and provides protection for their vital organs.
