OWNING A SOON TO BE 2ft FLORIDA SOFT SHELL TURTLE!
In this video we’re discussing how it’s been owning my Florida soft shell turtle! She’s currently about 12in in length and 9in in width. I’ve had her for about 2+ yrs. She’s such a magnificent turtle, tons of personality. If you have the space, I would highly recommend you get yourself one. My Florida soft shell turtle will eat almost anything I put into the tank, she readily accepts meaty foods as well as pellets. The only con is the size habitat she needs, otherwise great turtle to own! If you enjoy this sort of content, subscribe to the channel. Thank you for your support!

Great video man !! And the ponds will definitely help when she gets that big
Thank you brother. And the ponds will definitely help when the time comes!
Rip Clyde 😢 🙏🏼
Man…
She’s a beast, bro! I almost stumbled across purchasing one of these, but I don’t think I’m ready, big dawg!
Cleveland your best video ever. She’s awesome
Thank you Anthony!
Beautiful Miami! She’s gotten so big
She really is! I’m really looking forward to seeing her at 2ft!
Awesome
Thank you!
She’s so cute😍😍😍😍😍 is she aggressive with people ? Are you able to pet her ?
Right now I have a red ear slider that I rescued and now he’s doing amazing . The other day I bought a map turtle (she has her own tank ) I look forward to buying a soft shell turtle 🐢
Amazing video
Thank you and she’s not aggressive but I don’t really want to be bothered. I don’t pet her or pick her up now that she’s so Big. She’s so strong and her nails are ridiculous. Thank you for your support! Sorry I missed this comment! I also have a map turtle. 🐢
Great video!!! Nice temporary setup way better than most people have. Recently got some Pallid Spiny Softshell baby's as I've went down the Softshell wormhole 👍🐢
Thank you Bro! I appreciate it. Soft shell turtles are dope! How big do they get? My girl will get 2ft when she’s full grown. I bought a male and female but she bit his 🍆 and pulled it out. I paid $1200 to get it amputated to attempt to save him…. 1 week later had to pay $200 to euthanize him…. Total shitshow…. That being said, get them sexed when you can.
@@TheFishCorner That's crazy sorry about the male 😭 Most Softshells get very territorial. I have Eastern's, Gulf Coast's, and Pallid's. Florida's are the largest species in America and Pallids are 2nd. Getting Midland Smooth Softshells next. They stay small and are way less aggressive 👍🐢
Nice dedicated tank.
Thanks
I have these living in the half acre pond behind my house in Florida. I usually go and feed them table scraps for fun and chicken bones which I cut in half with a pair of garden shears. If you had her in a bigger area you could put small fish in that are fast, I think in the wild they are opportunistic and will eat dead things or slow moving live things and I don’t fish in the pond anymore because I want to car one and couldn’t get the hook out and I felt really bad they are super fast and will bite you in a heartbeat
That's awesome..I would love to have her in a pond one day. Right now she's in a 125g pond but obviously she's going to outgrow that, then I'll upgrade her again.
Wow wish that trash can cave could've stayed but cool tank can't wait to see her new tank in the future
Me too. It was sick.
😂😂 you right about that I got one years ago and your right I didn't know what it was enjoyed the video
Haha man, what happened to yours??
I had the tank at my mom's house and it cracked and it died with my fish
?? I’m glad I came across your channel I needed educated on this smh I don’t know what I got myself into so soon she won’t be able to be in a tank with nobody she is female 😢my friend gifted me with 3 baby turtles the other 2 or painted turtles and the 1 is a soft shell turtle and a olive green with tiny black dots 😢
I’m glad you did too! And I’m sorry but most likely she will not tolerate any of inhabitant’s. I had to get rid of two red ear sliders and the male she injured him so bad. It costed $1200 for the surgery and 2weels later $200 to euthanize him…. Since then, she hasn’t allowed anything in her tank, no fish. Nothing.
BUT….. I moved her into her new enclosure, a 125g plastic pond with a area for her to climb onto land and potentially lay eggs (she hasn’t come out of the water by choice at all, since being in the enclosure) but since she’s been in the new enclosure. She has allowed 6 gold fish to live with her….
So strange…
@@TheFishCorner Wow 6 Gold Fish live with her amazing Specially since you had to loose your male turtle and $1200 . You said she lives in a plastic enclosure pond. Is it not a good ideal for my Turtle to be in a glass tank once she starts growing bigger ? 🥲
Do you plan on ever getting her a bigger tank or is this good for her?
I have a common snapping turtle, I got her online as a hatchling and now 7 years later she’s the size of a dinner plate and thick but not to fat. Eats like a pig and is the only thing in her tank that stays alive lol turtles are super cool to keep alongside fish!
Good question. She just got THIS TANK a week ago. But when I feel it’s necessary I’ll figure what her next setup will be. I have a second fishroom and multiple ponds that I plan on building, so I’m sure it will not be a problem.
She needs a pond dude
Cool make indoor pond for the turtle
That’s the future plans for her. 💯
I got one a while ago. It’s so hard to find info on raising them. Idk if it’s a boy or girl. How can you tell. Mine is about the size of yours. When are they full grown? Do they hibernate?
What happened to that cave you built from the trash can
Taking up too much space.
What size is the fish tank?
225g
you took the cave out it looks better my g
Yessir, no doubt, she has the room she needed.
How can a shop not know the species of Turtle or fish they are selling 😬😂?
It happens ALL the time! They’re sometimes just store personnel, Someone else may do the ordering. But like I said, it happens at pretty much every pet store I’ve been to. They’re not experts.
She’s a pleasure lol killed her mate and cost you how much 1800? That’s one lucky turtle
Yep. I didn’t have to pay the money. It was my choice.
When your kid breaks something that’s expensive do you get rid of your kid…? No, they’re still a pleasure. My pets are like my kids too, You’re not going to disown one for making a mistake.
Ngl, I don’t think that turtle will be happy in there :)
She’s already happy. She’s been happy since I bought her to be honest.
@@TheFishCorner how can you tell?
@@TechLover135 how can you tell she's not ?
@@reapersexotics1129 I can't; I never said I could tell, I just expressed what I think. On the other hand, the author of the video said that she has been happy, so I guess it's fair for me to ask how he can tell :)
