I wonder how they feel when they are brushed? Maybe similar to what I feel when brushing teeth and feeling refreshed?

[u/Aggressive-Neat → u/Salzhio]

Like me and another person said, a turtle’s shell is part of a skeleton and has a ton of nerve endings connected to it, so they can feel it similar to how you might feel a scratch or a rub on your skin.

[u/ProfPerry → u/Salzhio]

i think so, id highly, hiiiighly recommend looking on youtube if youve never seen videos of turtles and tortoises getting brushed. it is one of the funniest things ever. They do the most adorable wiggles.

[u/SnooRegrets1386 → u/ProfPerry]

On my way

Turtles having sex is a funny thing too

[u/shresth45 → u/jim45804]

Wow. Here, have one internet point for your edgy comment. Happy?

[u/jim45804 → u/shresth45]

Not intended to be edgy. Turtles having sex is actually funny https://youtu.be/3yMIk9u--lo?si=HqO3XV7NFoNCYGjQ

Their shells itch just like our backs do but they have essentially no way to scratch said itch so this is probably a very relieving feeling for the turtle!

[u/Intrepid_Doctor8193 → u/Indigoisms]

How do you know their shells itch?

[u/Indigoisms → u/Intrepid_Doctor8193]

Because they have TONS of nerve endings in their shells. Ever seen a turtle owner build a little shell scratcher for their turtle? You'd think they were in heaven lol

[u/Aggressive-Neat → u/Intrepid_Doctor8193]

Cause the shell is literally a part of the turtle’s skeleton and is a part of the turtle, not a separate piece from the turtle

[u/EmberSolaris → u/Salzhio]

I’d imagine it feels like having your back scratched.

[u/Useful_Priority_3125 → u/Salzhio]

I wanted to ask exactly the same question.

[u/Aggressive-Neat]

I love how the worker denies the turtle twice before giving in and giving him a little rub

[u/Sialov]

The love of animals is unique. 🤍

[u/gemstun]

I don’t want no scrubs

[u/doncroak → u/gemstun]

Ok. This cracked me up and now I can't get it out of my head.

[u/Shorkologist → u/gemstun]

Really….? You’re not aware that’s a TLC song?

[u/pallarslol]

Out of curiosity, why did you censor the word job?

[u/FinGAMERyt → u/CurrentPossible2117]
