Florida Softshell Turtles for Sale

Five years ago, we hatched a handsome male Florida Softshell Turtle with very bright orange coloring and a stunning pattern. We raised him, hoping that he would add some color to our breeding colony. Last fall, an entire clutch of very pretty, very orange Florida Softshells hatched out for us. These turtles have amazing patterns and breathtaking colors. They are very well-started and are ready to brighten up any keeper’s tanks. Their husbandry and care are identical to that of normal-colored Florida Softshells and follow:

Husbandry and Care:

Florida Softshells make very good community turtles. They will often bury in sand with just their head exposed, waiting to surprise a fish. They’re excellent swimmers and do well in mostly water tanks, with plants and other underwater objects. They quickly settle in and will swim about their tanks as much as most fish.

Diet:

Florida Softshells quickly learn to come to feeding and will liven up any tank. They will take pellets, fish, worms, meat, snails, and crayfish. Once four to five inches, they also make good pond turtles in summer months or warmer climates.

Adaptations and Behavior:

Florida Softshell Turtles have unique adaptations that make them fascinating pets. Their long necks and snorkel-like noses allow them to breathe while buried in sand or mud. However, be cautious as Florida Softshell Turtles can bite if threatened. Although they are generally not dangerous, it’s important to handle them with care.

Conservation Status: While Florida Softshell Turtles are not currently endangered, it’s essential to support responsible breeding and conservation efforts to ensure their populations remain stable.
