Abstract
Observations of exotic Red-eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) turtles are rare in New Brunswick (NB), Canada, but we found multiple individuals residing in the recreational area of Rockwood Park, Saint John. We present evidence that suggests that Red-eared Sliders are able to overwinter in at least one water body in Rockwood Park. Seven Red-eared Sliders were removed from water bodies in NB from 2014 to 2016 and one in 2022. Currently, there are no known locations with Red-eared Sliders persisting in NB.
