“A softshell turtle coming to the shore of the pond in my backyard to lay eggs,” writes Aiming Gao in sharing this video with us from Tampa, Florida. “A female digs nests in open areas along the shore. Incubation typically lasts 82 to 84 days.” Look at how long the turtle’s neck is! It enables the turtle to breathe in a snorkel-like fashion through those two nostrils when in the water. Thank you, Aiming! | The Naturalist's Notebook

Meet the Florida Softshell Turtle 🐢—a flat, fast, and fascinating resident of South Florida waters! With its leathery shell and snorkel-like nose, this turtle can bury itself in sand and wait for dinner to swim by. But don’t be fooled by its calm appearance—its long neck and sharp jaws make it a skilled hunter. 💡 Pro tip: If you spot one crossing the road, use caution (and gloves!)—it won’t see you as a helper. 🐾To learn more about South-West Florida’s ecosystem and fauna, tune into this week

Starting the week off right! 🐢 This Florida Softshell Turtle was admitted with abrasions on its shell and most of its body. Staff flushed the wounds and took radiographs of the patient to check for underlying signs of trauma. After radiographs came back normal and the patient showed normal behavior, this turtle was cleared for release!! 🎥: Morgan H., Assistant Wildlife Rehab Manager | CROW - Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife, Inc.

🐢 Did you know that softshell turtles get their name from their unique shells? 🐢 Unlike most turtles that have hard scaly carapaces (top of shell), softshell turtles have a cartilaginous carapace covered in leathery skin. This softshell turtle patient enjoyed some tub time during recovery. After a week of care, they were released back into the wild! #FloridaWildlifeHospital #softshellturtle #floridaturtle #wildliferehab #RescueRehabRelease #KeepingWildlifeWild | Florida Wildlife Hospital

This is the biggest softshell turtle we have admitted in 2025, weighing in at just over 22lbs! She was found along I-75 with some wounds and abrasions along her carapace (upper shell) and plastron (lower shell), so we suspect she was hit by a car. Luckily, this turtle has no fractures of the limbs or shell, which are common in victims of car strikes. Our staff cleaned and flushed the wounds, and dressed them with antimicrobial ointment to promote healing. As the name suggests, Florida softshells
