Vet Assistant Caring for a Turtle

A friendly male veterinary assistant dressed in a buttoned tunic stands outdoors next to a small turtle resting on the ground. The assistant checks on the reptile to support its well-being.

Discovering Turtle Health and Shells

Turtles possess a protective shell made of bone and keratin that is fused directly to their spine and ribcage. Unlike some animals, turtles cannot crawl out of their shells because the shell grows along with their body. Veterinary professionals examine a turtle's shell to check for proper hardness and nutrition.

  • Turtle shell: olive green, dark brown, or yellow-patterned
  • Turtle skin: dull green, gray, or brown
  • Vet assistant tunic: light blue, green, or white
  • Turtle underside shell: pale yellow or cream
