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. :-) -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder... EVERYONE: "Please check people's headers for forgeries before flushing." NAMES ARE BEING FORGED. ~~~ }((((o ~~~ }{{{{o ~~~ }(((((o |

Unfortunately, so do the fish if the turtle doesn't get them first.

I notice this little turtle likes the catfish pellets best. He goes for them first. -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder... EVERYONE: "Please check people's headers for forgeries before flushing."
