Red Eared Slider

Posted by Camillus (Shunfu, Singapore) on 24 April 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

The Red Eared Slider - Singapore's favourite turtle. Sold in pet shops island wide, this popular pet is also one of the most destructive. Growing rapidly in captivity, the turtle quickly outgrows its terrarium. Inconsiderate owners abandon them everywhere, and this has lead to their prevalence in many bodies of water, from church grottos to Koi ponds. There, they thrive, fouling up water and decimating local fish and aquatic plant populations.
