Spiny softshells primarly live in rivers, but they have been seen in large lakes. They typically prefer river bottoms with sand/mud bottoms with lots of gravel because they spend much of their time hiding in the gravel, stalking prey or staying out of sight of other predators. You also might find a spiny softshell on a sandbar, basking in the sun or laying eggs.
Softshell turtles live in Ohio ponds. We have ponds next to our house with a family of softshelled turtles living there. They love the algea at the bottom and the temperatures of Ohio. We had a big storm that washed up softshell turtles they are about the size of a childs hand.
Softshell turtles are carnivores so it is good to fees them live food like feeder fish, crickets or live worms. But make sure you give them dried shrimo and pellets too for a good diet.
All turtles need a filter in there tank or they will get sick from all the dirt.
Softshell turtles are omnivorous and their diet can vary depending on the species and habitat. While softshell turtles may consume plant matter like sawgrass, their diet typically consists of a variety of aquatic plants, algae, insects, crustaceans, and small fish. Sawgrass may not be a primary food source for softshell turtles, but they may consume it along with other vegetation as part of their diet.

Yes. Yes. Yes. If the turtle is in a tank. Any tank, any size, you need a filter. Turtles are dirty and the only time you don't need a filter is if the turtle is in a LARGE pond and even then if there is more than one turtle I'd probably still have a filter.

Well, softshell turtles can eat small fish or insects in the water, but babies can't always eat those. You could try getting some food from a pet store if you have one as a pet, but you could also chop up small things on the water too that they possibly eat.
No turtle species is considered "harmful" in the strictest sense of the word. Some species, such as snapping turtles and softshell turtles may act aggressively towards humans if disturbed and should therefore not be kept as pets by most individuals.
In Georgia, you can find several species of turtles, including the Eastern Box Turtle, the Red-Eared Slider, and the Florida Softshell Turtle. The common Snapping Turtle and various species of Painted Turtles also inhabit the state. Additionally, the Gopher Tortoise, which is a keystone species, can be found in Georgia's sandy soils. These turtles inhabit diverse environments, from wetlands to woodlands.
