The strangest thing happened a week ago. Frida and I were coming back from a nice walk on a cool and humid evening when I noticed something on the floor. Did so just in time, I was about to step on a Red Ear Slider (Chrysemys scripta elegans)! They are popular pets here in Mexico, but are not found in the wild. Where she came from and how are still a mystery. She (he?) seemed so lonely and scared we just had to bring her indoors. And yes, Frida seems to like her. We are terribly worried, though. We got her settled that same night in a nice turtle home, but she did not move for a whole day. I guessed she was in shock and needed some time to relax. Nevertheless, she is still quite sedentary and has not eaten anything. Though many websites say that these turtles can go without food for a considerable amount of time, we would truly welcome any word of advice on the matter. If things stay the same during this week, we will have to go to the vet.
