Just wondering.
Edit- Hypothetically if the turtle could be removed from the shell without harm.
There were no turtles harmed in the asking of the question

The shell is part of the turtle’s skin so if he lost it, he’d be dead.
The question made me chuckle and the answer made me sad! Good to know a definte answer tho as I do know some turtles lol.
Yes, he’d kind of be skinless. Much more serious than merely being naked or homeless.
He would be naked, because if he lived in a tank, or on an island, it’d still be there, right?

A turtle who lost his shell would be lunch. Probably for a carrion bird – or another turtle, or crab or crawfish.
He’s just going commando.
Dead. His shell is part of his spinal column.
I suppose he’d be naked and homeless. And maybe feel just a little vulnerable…
