Kenan's good friend Maurice Rodrigues discovered a large group pf Florida Soft Shell Turtles being illegally kept and sold in a Korean Fish Market in New Jersey. After contacting the New Jersey Fish and Wildlife department the turtles were rescued and shipped to Kenan where they will be released back in their natural habitat. It's a sad story with a really happy ending. Check it out!

As a Korean, I'm surprised to see softshell turtles in a Korean market. As far to my knowledge, Koreans normally don't eat turtles, plus I have never seen turtles in any Korean market where I live. Also, every Korean I've met in my life had never eaten turtles sometime in their lives. Anyways, I'm glad that you rescued those turtles from a terrifying death since I myself love turtles.

Keep up the good work Kenan. My brother and me took in a red eared slider. The previous owner never put it in water for a year. It pretty much went into a dormant state and didn't do much that whole time. Poor thing was all fucked up and was probably going to die soon. This turtle must be really freaking tough to have survived that long with next to no water/food. When we got it... It didn't even know how to swim. It took a year later for it to remember how to swim and now it's a really great pet. It's not shy anymore either and always wants to come up to us. I know red ears are super common and don't need a rescue nearly as much as other species do but still... I'm glad we saved a suffering animal anyways... We keep her in a big cattle tank that's 300 gallon out back now : )

hey Kenan this is awesome man I live here in PSL in the back of my house there's a huge canal and it's on a gated community there is so many softshell turtles it's unbelievable there is one in here the biggest I have ever seen literally got to be a female her head is bigger than my fist and a few of the size that you have there and some small ones too and if some other turtle species I don't know what they are one of them has white around the ring on the outside and like white on the top and a stripe I don't know what that is I know your other typical Turtles also there's a giant goldfish back there that is the only evasive species I've seen in that canal and it is about I would say 20 inches long and every bit of girth I'm so happy that these turtles have found their way to you I used to live in Edison New Jersey and there's a lot of them Korean and others that had the softshell turtles but I had no idea that they were in from Florida I'm talking 20 years ago so the God bless you

It was a good feeling to save a life!

Florida softshells have the temper of a snapping turtle and the defensive odor of a skunk. There's at least two musk glands located between the cervical and marginal sections of their carapace, and those things will literally squirt out a jet of stench that will not easily wash off. Many years ago, I rescued an enormous female the size of a serving tray, off the road. When I lifted her up I witnessed two fine streams shooting off, reflected against the sun, about 2 feet in front of her. I didn't get hit, but the air stunk really bad.
