Spiny softshell turtles will hide at the bottom of a river and dig in the sand, mud, or gravel to camouflage themselves. They’ll also do this in the colder months to regulate their body temperature. This spiny softshell, located at our Shepherd of the Hills Conservation Education Center in Branson, loves to dig and spends most of his time hidden in the rocks 🪨 🐢 🎥 Carly Robbs, MDC | Missouri Dept. of Conservation

Spiny softshell turtles lay their eggs in flask-shaped burrows, typically on sandbars or in loose soil near water sources like rivers, lakes, and impoundments. The nesting process usually occurs in the summer months, with females emerging from the water to dig their nests. They lay a clutch of hard-shelled eggs, with the number varying by individual and species. After laying, the female covers the nest and leaves the eggs to incubate, with hatching typically occurring in late summer or early fal
