How big is your porcupine? I saw my first one inflated when I was scuba diving two weeks ago. It was pretty cool. Never saw one inflated before. Just saw this thing in the distance bouncing across the bottom. Looked like a ball bouncing and drifting. Got closer and noticed it was a porcupine. He deflated pretty quick and took off.

I have a porcupine puffer. They are nocturnal. This means they come out at night or when it's dark to eat. They they hide or rest during the day.
