Monthly Image: A Tree Full of Turtles

Spotted along Robinson Lane:

The little one way over on the left is definitely having an adventure!

I’d read of goats climbing trees, but never turtles.

  1. They climb anything around to bask in the sun. I have a couple of rescued red ear sliders (non native) and they love to bask on a stone platform.

    1. Mary, being a Master Gardener, knows all too much about invasive plants & animals, but it seems a red-eared slider is a critter from us that’s invasive for you!

      Apparently they out-compete all other small turtles. Keep an eye on ’em … they’re up to no good!

      1. Yes, Ed. They are “imported” for the aquarium trade. Probably bred in the far east. They are cute when they are 1 to 2″ and in my concrete pond grow to 1′ or more. I have an aquaria group and when someone doesnt want them I take them in and let them live their lives out. Better than being dumped in local lakes.
