Red eared southern slider :-)))
 

When I fed the fish this evening at sundown I saw a baby red-eared slider
come swimming out of a bunch of elodea and snarf up some pellets!!! I've
never seen one of these in my ponds before. Somehow it got through the net.
It seemed more shy and fearful than the baby mud turtles I had several
summers ago. Since these are not bad tempered and nasty like the snappers,
I'll leave it in the pond. :-)

My painted turtle won't eat the fish pellets - just spits them out. It
eats the turtle pellets. Unfortunately, so do the fish if the turtle
doesn't get them first. :(

===========================
These are both catfish and koi/goldfish pellets. I notice this little
turtle likes the catfish pellets best. He goes for them first.
