Turtle Shell
Posted April 11, 2010

Is it possible to open a turtle shell with your hands?
Don't worry, I don't plan on doing this, but I need to know for a project I'm working on. Would an average adult male be able to pull a turtle shell apart with his bare hands? Obviously it'd take a lot of force, and I'd imagine younger turtles probably would be easier...but I'm just curious.
I do not endorse anyone trying! I just wonder if it would be possible without tools.
Not with the turtle in it. However, a cleaned shell is not that strong. Now I curious about why anyone would want to do such a thing.
If you mean prying open a closed hinge, fuhgeddaboudit. Unless the turtle is morbidly obese, you couldn't even get a fingernail in there to pry with.
