Feeding this turtle is a delight as it eagerly consumes a varied diet including aquatic invertebrates, small fish, and even vegetation, providing a rewarding experience for its caretakers.

However, proper supervision and consideration for their space are essential. Given their moderate care requirements, the Florida Spiny Soft Shell Turtle is suitable for intermediate to experienced turtle keepers.
