The Red-Eared Slider (Trachemys scripta) was trapped in Bachelor Pond using sardines as bait. Specimen was large, probably at least 8 inches long. This particular individual was probably a pet that was released, as we are just north of their natural range. Not all specimens have the distinctive red stripe on their head. Sometimes it is yellow. The RES prefers muddy slow moving water with a variety of vegetation. (Phil Ritz)
