摘要

The natural distribution range of the red-eared slider turtle, Trachemys scripts elegans (Wied-Neuwied, 1839), includes south-eastern USA and north-eastern Mexico (Van Dijk et al., 2012). Historical records date back to early 1950s when the species was reported to be introduced by the pet trade into Ontario, Canada (Lamond, 1994). It rapidly became a commonly sold turtle all over the world. Over 52 million T. scripta elegans were exported by the pet trade from USA to foreign pet trade markets during 1989-1997 (Telecky, 2001) and more than 23 million during 1998-2002 (Schlaepfer et al., 2005). France alone imported 4,238,809 young turtles between 1985 and 1994, with a maximum of 1,878,809 in 1989- 1990 (Warwick, 1991). Owners unable to house them when they reach large size simply released them. This practice has been noted in Europe (Warwick, 1991), Africa (Newberry, 1984), Asia (De Silva & Blasco, 1995; Moll, 1995; Warwick, 1991) and Australia (Ramsay et al., 2007). In 2013, a shipment of as many as 10,000 hatchlings of T. scripta elegans was seized at the Kolkata International Airport, West Bengal, India by the Customs department which was being smuggled into India (Mukherjee, 2013), highlighting the magnitude of T. scripta elegans being brought into India. Here we report on T. scripta elegans from a water body in the Rajarhat wetlands of Kolkata, India.
