turtles can swim
tortoises can not.. BUT
Tortoises are also turtles but turtles are not tortoises...
I guess a better way to put it.. A turtle is a type of tortoises

Their shell is actually their backbone or some shit and i heard they taste good

That is the dumbest answer i've ever seen in my not-so long time as a Sensei fam. I didn't ask how turtles and tortoises relate, I said what you knew about turtles specifically.

That said, you need a broader explanation if you plan on making customs.
Some key things to take into account are:

- Eyesight
Most turtles that spend most of their lives on land have their eyes looking down at objects in front of them. Some aquatic turtles, such as snapping turtles and soft-shelled turtles, have eyes closer to the top of the head. Near their eyes, sea turtles possess glands that produce salty tears that rid their body of excess salt taken in from the water they drink.

Turtles are thought to have exceptional night vision due to the unusually large number of rod cells in their retinas. Some land turtles have very poor pursuit movement abilities, which are normally found only in predators that hunt quick-moving prey, but carnivorous turtles are able to move their heads quickly to snap.
-Movement
Terrestrial tortoises have short, sturdy feet. Tortoises are famous for moving slowly, in part because of their heavy, cumbersome shells, which restrict stride length. Amphibious turtles normally have limbs similar to those of tortoises, except the feet are webbed and often have long claws. These turtles swim using all four feet in a way similar to the dog paddle, with the feet on the left and right side of the body alternately providing thrust. Large turtles tend to swim less than smaller ones, and the very big species, such as alligator snapping turtles, hardly swim at all, preferring to walk along the bottom of the river or lake. As well as webbed feet, turtles have very long claws, used to help them clamber onto riverbanks and floating logs upon which they bask. Male turtles tend to have particularly long claws, and these appear to be used to stimulate the female while mating. While most turtles have webbed feet, some, such as the pig-nosed turtle, have true flippers, with the digits being fused into paddles and the claws being relatively small.

Sea turtles are almost entirely aquatic and have flippers instead of feet. Sea turtles fly through the water, using the up-and-down motion of the front flippers to generate thrust; the back feet are not used for propulsion, but may be used as rudders for steering. Compared with freshwater turtles, sea turtles have very limited mobility on land, and apart from the dash from the nest to the sea as hatchlings, male sea turtles normally never leave the sea.
- The shell
For this, I wont post information because there is a LOT of information regarding the shell, some valuable for customs, others not. But either way, I think it is worth the research. I did a lot of research into Sharks and my summonings show for it, so I recommend it for you as well. o.-

Sorry, completely forgot about this lol.

Now, for the normal part.

*pulls a scroll out*

This is the scroll for all contract signers. By signing it with a blood signature, it allows you to be able to summon turtles. Sign your name on le bottom :D
