As with other populations of pond sliders in non-US countries these have become invasive after releases from the pet trade.

📍 Location: Durham, North Carolina 🗓 Date: May 8, 2026 🐾 Media: Image 🌿 Species: Pond Slider (Trachemys scripta) 📝 Notes: Medium-sized freshwater turtle commonly found in ponds, lakes, slow-moving rivers, canals, and marshes across the southeastern United States, with introduced populations in many other regions. Often seen basking on logs, rocks, or shoreline banks.
Carapace is typically dark green to brown with yellow striping; individuals often show red or yellow markings behind the eye depending on subspecies (notably the red-eared slider). Highly adaptable and frequently observed in human-altered water bodies.
Observed to be young juvenile, likely several days old at most. Hybrid between subspecies red-eared slider and yellow-bellied slider.

So sliders. Sliders (trachemys) is a genus that lives all of america, and which it's main and most known subspecies, red eared sliders (RES, or scripta elegants) is best know by two things: the fact that it's the most popular type of pet turtle globaly, and that they are STUPIDLY resilient. These two facts, naturally, create the perfect storm for an extremely invasive species due to neglectful or ignorant owners who get tired of the eety beety lil bean once it starts to show it grows to a max size of 12 inches/30cms and lives to even 30 years old.
