I know the turtle would be dead.. but c'mon its just for the fun of it..
you see in cartoons that if a turtle loses its shell it becomes half naked. usually wearing boxers with hearts on it..
and just to add.. you dont have to be so SERIOUS!!!!

Do you know how hard it is to separate a turtle from its shell?!?! It took me two whole Biology classes my sophomore year during disections, and that one was already dead. Removing a shell from a live turtle would kill it! So it would be homeless, naked (plus missing a good amount of skin) and dead.

A turtle without its shell will not be naked, and neither will it be homeless, as the shell to a turtle is like skull to humans, but this is as far as the comparison goes. The rest of the abstract natured similitude, however, suggests that a turtle without its shell would be a turtle open to very many new ideas.
Imagine if humans were born with feathers, with scaly skins or even with a shell like crabs. If this would happen, we would not have been so creative as we are now. The thoughts of inventing numerous kinds of fabrics, cosy shoes, warm and fluffy linens for our beds, and soft cushions for sofas and seats, would not have come to our mind at all. Our sense of innovation and creatively in design and technology, that we have, is not due to the fact that we are naked by nature, or that we feel hungry every so often, but to the fact that we like to do all these in fashion. Now, if you take the shell from the turtle away, that will make turtle think, and that’s for sure.

Homeless, the concept of being naked is a human one representing a lack of artificial covering (clothing) Since the shell is not artificial it would not be right to term a turtle as naked.

It is naked even with the shell. So I'll put homeless, since the shell is a tortoise's shelter and refuge.

Since it's home is that of an itinerant, I would say naked.

neither .. it will get locked up for public indecency and put in a cell in a nice police jump suit thereby solving both problems.
