  ATP - Field Herping for Spiny Softshells
Spiny softshells have a small proturberance on both sides of the nasal septum; smooth softshells do not.
In my experience, spiny softshell turtles prefer open water areas without a great deal of canopy overhanging the water, with sand/mud mixture banks that aren’t too steep (moderate is okay; vertical walls are not) and grassy growth around the bank.
Spiny softshells often bask on flat surfaces such as muddy banks and large, flat rocks.

Female spinies have a gestation period of 35-45 days, depending on the environment she is in, and how many young she is having.
Sibling spinies should be weaned from their mother at the same time, and be allowed to live together for a few weeks, apart from their mother, before they are sold or given away.
If only one spiny is born in the litter, it can be allowed to live with its mother and/or father, or with babies from a future litter once they are of weaning age.

 PETS - Rats and Mice
I learned on the Internet that spiny mice are unique to the world of mice, inasmuch as their tails are made in such a way that they will naturally break off if the mice are snagged by a predator.
The mouse with the injured tail quickly cleaned up the wounded area and removed the cartilege, and although the tail does not grow back, she was fine in a day or so.
One thing the spinies have are razor-sharp little teeth, and even if they are only gently nibbling your finger out of curiosity, they can sometimes unwittingly break your skin.

 Banshee Boardwalk
Banshee Boardwalk is home to a bunch of ghosts who call themselves the Boo Buddies, and also the giant Cheep Cheep that presents you with a trophy at the end of the game.
Hiding the leader there makes the Spinies circuit the track erratically, and this is especially apparent in front of the house, or around the front of the house.

Florida Softshell – As per spiny and smooth softies, with one glaring difference; males are very large and females are enormous.

Spinies are much more prevalent in the U.S. market.

 Zhaba Zhournal
When three of my female spinies had babies, I asked if my boss—who's previously said he likes spiny mice—if he wanted any; he said we could actually have them in the office.
For one thing, their genitalia aren't very easy to distinguish; and for another, their tails are extremely fragile, so you can't use the usual mouse-sexing method of picking them up by the tail and looking.
The spinies were notably underwhelming; they mostly just sat there, like, as J. put it, soft rocks.

She might run from me sometimes, but mostly doesn’t cause a commotion for me and is a sweetie once she’s out.
I know greens are different than spiny-tail igs, but spinies are notorious for being aggressive by nature, and all the info I’ve come across for handling has been the same.

G) I don't know if you can use the Spiny Shell trick here, but you might be able to move the guy far enough away from the track to get it to work at the grassy place.
B) You may have noticed that red and spiny shells fly around in weird patterns in front of the ghost house.
You need to park the guy in first so far off the track, or in such a strange place, that the shells don't know where he is and continue going around the track.

 Spiny mouse, pet products and supplies
For our Spinies we feed some wild bird seed mixed with some oats, and a bit of high quality cat food to add extra protein.
The Critter Trail and S.A.M cages are alot of fun, and are an excellent choice for spinies if there are no drafts and will be in a warm room, otherwise a 20 gallon aquarium with a tight fitting screen top is best.
For water bottles we would go with an 8oz bottle, and since Spinies like to chew, probably the Lixit glass bottles would be ideal.
