What is the performance of turtle shell?

Shell shelling is a special "adaptive protection" mechanism compared with other animals. When the tortoise feels threatened and cannot escape, it will take the way of shelling to protect itself. However, not all turtles can shell, only when there is no firm ligament tissue at the joint between the body shell and the back shell can they shell, and the shelled turtles can't recover their original shape.

The performance of tortoise shells is obvious, and the following situations generally occur:

1. Suddenly cracks appeared on the turtle shell, accompanied by some cracks and traces of destruction. At this point, the turtle shell has begun to fall off, which is obvious in front of the turtle shell.

2. When the turtle shell falls off or is damaged, under normal circumstances, the turtle's body will be exposed, usually showing red skin.

3. After the tortoise is shelled, the parts originally protected by the shell become more fragile and sensitive, vulnerable to injury and infection. At this time, the tortoise needs some special protection and care, such as avoiding sun exposure or water exposure.

Generally speaking, turtle hulling is a special self-protection mechanism, but turtle health needs high attention and protection. If your pet turtle is shelled, it is best to consult a professional or veterinarian to ensure that the turtle can recover as soon as possible.
