Florida Spiny Soft Shell Turtle Apalone Ferox Species Juvenile 5cm

“Meet the Florida Spiny Soft Shell Turtle, a captivating aquatic species originating from the rivers and lakes of Florida. Known for its unique flat, soft shell and distinctive spiny appearance, this turtle is a remarkable addition to any aquatic enthusiast’s collection.

Feeding this turtle is a delight as it eagerly consumes a varied diet including aquatic invertebrates, small fish, and even vegetation, providing a rewarding experience for its caretakers.

When considering tank mates, it’s important to choose non-aggressive companions of similar size to ensure a harmonious aquatic environment. Due to their solitary nature, it’s recommended to house them individually or with carefully selected tank mates.

In terms of aggression, these turtles typically display minimal aggression, especially when provided with ample space and appropriate tank conditions. However, proper supervision and consideration for their space are essential.

Given their moderate care requirements, the Florida Spiny Soft Shell Turtle is suitable for intermediate to experienced turtle keepers. They thrive in well-maintained aquatic setups with adequate space, filtration, and regular monitoring of water parameters. Optimal water conditions include a temperature range of 75-85°F (24-29°C), pH between 6.5 to 8.0, and a spacious tank with ample swimming area.

Visit us to discover this fascinating species and create an ideal habitat for these mesmerizing turtles!”
