Red Eared Slider - Trachemys scripta elegans


Family and I came across a Red Eared Slider - Trachemys scripta elegans - laying her clutch. The only issue I had with the whole thing was her choice of spots. It was right in the middle of the open park / frisbee golf range! So we "stood watch" while she did her business and buried the eggs. I then took her back to the pond. Pretty exciting stuff - doubt I'll ever catch anything like it again!
