Similar to how snakes shed their skin, turtles do shed their shells.
A turtle’s shell is made up mostly of small bones. The average turtle shell has around 60 bones.
These bones are covered by plates, called scutes. These scutes are made up of keratin, the same material that human fingernails are made up of. As a turtle grows, its scutes will often fall off.
