I do not want to ship so I would like to give this turtle for free to someone that can pick it up in the DFW area. I live in Keller, Texas. I have a medium sized soft shell looking for a home. My daughter bought a 55 gallon aquarium off craigslist and this medium sized soft shell came with it. She is into fish so now that some of her fancy fish are missing she is not liking having a turtle in the tank. I am more into tortoises while I will admit that soft shells are entertaining. It will need a 55 gallon tank to be comfortable with a sand bottom to hide in. It eats pellets, worms, ghost shrimp, crawfish, and sometimes fish. We have a floating dock that I occasionally see it on but I am not sure if they need to come out of the water or not. I have heard a pond or baby pool works too with bags of playsand for the bottom.
