Description
I came across this Red Eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) in the middle of my driveway. I am pretty sure it is a female because of the size and the fact that she was a fair distance from the pond (I suspect she had been laying eggs).
I found out that she can run faster than I can walk, lol. I had to hurry along as she headed for the pond.
These turtles are omnivorous when they are young but the adults are primarily vegetarians although they will eat dead meat on occasion.
My thanks to those who take the time to comment. The feedback is appreciated.

It must be great to see a big one. There was a fashion here for keeping baby ones as pets, which thankfully has long passed.
