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
