Comments:Found a turtle in my pond in my front yard while feeding my fish. After 2 days, I moved him to my back yard pond because the neighbors kids like to play in my pond. He's been here nearly two weeks. Not sure if he is a red-eared slider. He does have dark red marks on his head/neck. He is contained in my back yard.
