    They have nerves throughout their shells and can feel even gentle touch.

    So my head is not "inside" my skull but *is* my skull? Is the brain not a part of my head?

    What part of you makes you? Is it just your brain?

    Anyway, I think what they're getting at is that the shell is actually their spine, not like some extra thing that grows on top of their spine.

    Can you put any external part of yourself inside your skull? That's the difference.

    I feel like an annual reminder would be entirely sufficient, to be honest.

    Also, please do not move turtles unless they are immediately in danger or in your way. They're probably fine and just goofing around (laying eggs, moving, or looking for food).

    I learned from Franklin books and Mario games that you're wrong. A picture showing a clear cavity where a turtle could pop out won't convince me!

    Please don't tap/knock on turtle shells. It would be like someone knocking directly on your bones.

    That's neat and all. But how do they retract their heads?
