Who do we have here?

They can tolerate some brackish conditions, but long-term exposure to high salinity is not ideal and they thrive best in fresh water. Over the years, we have had reports of feral turtles seen in salt water and coastal locations.

While they often inhabit fresh water, they can be found in slightly brackish water environments (mix of salt and fresh water), such as marshes or coastal areas, but are not specialized salt-tolerant species.

Yellow-bellied sliders (Trachemys scripta scripta) are primarily freshwater turtles found in slow-moving rivers, swamps, and ponds across the southeastern US.

The rehoming infrastructure lacks the capacity to rehome the numbers of turtles needing this service and can lead to releases in the wild. Responsible pet ownership, think before you buy.

These turtles were someone’s pet previously and not native species to the UK. Unfortunately, due to the size in adulthood and the husbandry and accommodation needed they often exceed what pet owners can provide.

Being ectotherms (relying on their external environment to warm and cool themselves) this is highly effective and due to their dark pigment, they can heat up more efficiently.

These photos are great in showing how the turtles bask and spread themselves out to increase surface area to absorb the suns rays and warm up.
Thank you Gemma!

Another example of how these turtles can be tricky to spot. This individual has emerged to bask in the sun on a branch. Thank you for sending this Kirsty!

Figure 1: Solid lines represent predation. Dotted lines represent mutualism. (A) Snakes are absent in Saipan, where birds are present to disperse seeds, and rats exist in higher numbers, which can impact seeds through seed predation. (B) Snakes are present in Guam, preying on both birds and rats. The absence of birds diminishes seed survival through limiting dispersal, but predation on rats might enhance seed survival by diminishing predation of seeds by rats. Photo credits—snake: S. Siers, starling: L. Berry, seeds and rat: stock images.
Invasive species are often studied in isolation, but what happens when multiple invasions interact? 💥 A new study shows how #invasive snakes affect ecosystems already shaped by invasive rodents. Congrats to Dr. Haldre Rogers & team!

I need someone’s expertise. I’m sadly discovering a lot of my yard is invasive. iNaturalist told me this is Lonicera/honeysuckle. Are they all invasive? Does anyone recognize this one? #invasive or #native #plants #wichita #kansas One good thing: all this yard work is giving my muscles a boost.
