Re: [vernalpool] Non-native species encounters

 

Hi Tim,
Sorry for the delayed response but a few years back, I think Lori Erb at MassWildlife put out a request for homes/takers for some red-eared sliders they captured out of the pond at UMass Amherst. That's how we ended up with our monstrous...I mean wonderful office pets! (And no, we definitely don't want another one ;)

You might want to check in with her for advice if you haven't already?
Good luck!

Last night I visited some vernal pools in Needham and caught a large red eared slider swimming around in a more permanent pool. I didn't know what to do with it so I took it home to Somerville and have it in a barrel in my back yard.

Now what do I do?
Does anyone want this thing?
Do I bring it to a market in Chinatown?

Are there any official and/or unofficial guidelines for what to do when you find non-native species in the wild that you know for certain do not belong?
