RED-EARED SLIDER
or
Red-eared Terrapin
(Trachemys scripta elegans)

John Fowler & Rachel Barnes

Distribution:-
These are native to Southern USA and Northern Mexico.

Feral populations also occur in many parts of the World, including New Zealand, United Kingdom,
Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Finland, Lithuania, Russia, Panama, Guyana, Brazil , Chile, South Africa, Belgium, Germany, the Czech Republic,
Hungary, Austria, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Israel,
Bahrain, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam,
Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Mariana Islands, Guam, Hawaii,
French Polynesia, Caymans, Bahamas, Bermuda, the Lesser
Antilles and Mascarene Islands.

Comments:- In cooler areas the populations may not be sustainable, and may consist mainly or solely of released pets which may be long lived (about 30-40 years sometimes more)
It is a subspecies and although I have not seen any wild ones in Australia myself, I have seen them in some other countries and some appear to be crosses between subspecies.
