Turtle Dies After Shell Was Painted With Nail Polish And GlitterAn Ohio Animal Conservation Center is warning about the dangers of painting turtles’ shells after one died in its care. But, what makes painting on a turtle’s shell so bad?
Well the shell is a living part of the turtle’s body. They are unable to absorb vitamin D properly when it is painted.
When you cover them in paint, it blocks the shells ability to absorb vitamin D, which leads to growth and bone issues. In serious cases it can metabolic bone disease, a painful and debilitating condition.
