What if they're not pets , but keep getting into my goldfish pond ? I just released a male slider that was unfortunately in there for three years . A female slider found it's way into the pond four days later , but was able to climb out . we caught her in the front yard , and I was able to take her down to the lake to release her . Did I do a bad thing for the eco-system at the Lake ?
this video is very helpful for kids/ new pet owners that don’t know about red ear sliders thank you for this information.

It depends on where you are at. If you are in their native range in the south and central states you are fine.
