  • Best Soft shell turtle aquarium set up, including the food pan set up for basking and burying. Soft shell turtle enclosures, sand port and basking area. More useable space for both Map Turtles, Red Ear Sliders, and Soft Shell Turtles. Gives both turtles lots of room for swimming. Very easy to clean by sliding the tray. Easy to make turtle tank set up that's inexpensive. (Turtles were purchased from Back Water Reptiles Inc.)

    I love how the soft shell acts. One of my turtles will climb up our rock piece that has the filter inside it and he loves to just jump off it. It’s hilarious and annoying.

    Oh god, both of them are cute! they're just like my turtles Nari(RES) & Sofitel(SoftShelled). At first I didn't want to buy a softshelled coz it might not get along with my RES but when I first saw Sofitel peeked his head up from the sand at the petstore I just fell in love. And I'm glad I bought him. He get along with Nari quiet well, and it's really cute whenever they bask together. Sometimes he's on top of Nari sometimes they're aligned on the log. :)

      @@PRIME.EXE_ They do. I found out the hard way when my huge spiny soft shell threw itself six feet to its death. Some cute red eared slider shawty ain’t want him, he got all in his mood.😢.
      For real, though- I tried a few times to keep that particular spiny and a few hatchling Florida soft shells in a huge all aquatic setup with a similar sized alligator snapper. The soft shelled turtles were always jumping out, like tri weekly.
      So- yeah, they are totally going to jump out of this setup, it is inevitable. It’s also waaay too small, well done, but too small. Those two animals are going to need at least a 75, bare minimum.
