Ramona

New to the pond this month is Ramona the Red-eared Slider. One of these days Dave will put his foot down and say 'no' to the billions of animals I drag home.


I got Ramona from the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge staff after someone dropped her off. Sliders are not native to Utah and the employees there didn't think it would be a good idea to introduce her to that habitat. Someone brought her in after finding her in the middle of the highway in the Brigham City area and I have a great little pond for her to live in - it has all the amenities: invertabrates, fish, algae, paddling duck feet ;)


She seems happy----but shy.
