Hi all,
I'm thinking about stepping up and getting a softshell turtle. I like the appearance, and I'm aware of the size they get. That wont be a problem. I have space and a tank for the first few years. I'm planning on getting a hatchling, I know these cant be sexed, a male is half the size of the females, I prefer a male (more because of the color patterns being retained as an adult) which is a 50/50 chance, but a female wouldn't be a problem. My question is does anyone here have experience with the Spiny Softshell or any softshell? In particular, I'm looking for info on water depth for a hatchlingand adulthood, so on and so on. I have the heavy filteration and UV filteration covered. Lighting is covered along with heat. Just need water depth for a hatchling, oh I have two 5 lbs bags of sand still so that is covered too. Thanks in advance.
