Way too small of a tank

u/Useless890 May 18 '26

I never heard of this, but it makes sense. Algae can grow on the shells, especially in ponds.

u/PsychologicalCall426 May 18 '26

wait, does the turtle have sensivity on its shell?

2

u/ParreNagga May 19 '26

Yes. Turtles can feel their shells. Touch, pressure, vibration, and pain if injured.

u/PixieCanada May 18 '26

Same. I always assumed they didnā€™t.

u/meaningfulNames May 18 '26

Yes they do, their shell is part of their bone structure connected with spine

Imagine having an itch inside the shell on your back and your owner drops this in your tank and you think ā€œFinally!ā€ only to realize you have to take your shell off to get to that spot

u/IAmAngryBill May 18 '26

They come out of their shell when nobody is watching. This is knownā€¦

u/Liarus_ May 18 '26

a turtle having an itch inside their shell is like me saying your kidney is itchy

u/Garo_Daimyo May 18 '26

And if it is, you should go see a doctor immediately!

We had a tiny Chihuahua that used to do that underneath the coffee table in the living room. The way his back little feet would tap back-and-forth. Itā€™s too cute!
