I dunno about you but I love spiny softshell turtles! I saw a baby one once (maybe 2 inch diameter shell?) in a nearby river and have been enamored since. Even wrote a short story about it for a nature writing class :)

I've kept them in aquaria for one of my jobs, and every time I go to a local park, near my best friends house, there are huge softshells i get to see every time.

Here's one of my favorite softshells...

Florida Softshell (Apalone ferox), hatchling, family Trionychidae, Florida, USA

@sofshell ; " WHY. do you disappoint me. at EVERY venture. ”

leo TRIES not to take donnie’s comment personally. he decides to joke through the sting & instead rolls his eyes with a grin.

“psh, ok, DAD,” he jokes, arms folding over his chest. “uh, maybe ‘cause you make it so EASY? ‘sides, don’t pretend that you don’t enjoy my various disappointments & mistakes. it’s part of the neon leon charm. you know you loooove me.”
