I am not sure if my 9" red ear slider has 'escaped' or dead. The pond
has a muddy bottom and quite big. I am just wondering if the body of
any dead turtle float or sink? If they float, then I haven't seen
anything floating so it must be still alive, in the pond (hopefully) or
somewhere.
=========================
I think it's still warm enough in most parts of the USA for it to float if
it's not caught in something below the surface. If you start getting a
faint whiff of something dead then start searching for it.
