Notes

This pond has been filled with released pet turtles(and turtles have found their way here through municipal waterways). Other species observed here include western painted, peninsula cooter, western pond turtle, and a large Florida soft shell; B. Hubbs has a record for the soft shell, though we disagree on the species). Removed Approximately 50 adults/juvies in the fall of 2012. This individual was removed due to being non native/invasive.
