AB  - The Red-eared slider (Trachemis scripta elegans) is among the world’s most invasive species, and recentlyits related subspecies (T. s. scripta and T. s. troostii) were also being introduced in Europe. Herein, we present dataon introduction of the Red-eared slider and its related subspecies in Serbia, gathered during more than ten years.The number of reports of these turtles across Serbia almost doubled since 2015. The introductions are concentratedaround Belgrade and Novi Sad cities where large populations were detected, and all cases of possible reproduction:nest digging females and findings of hatchlings. The lakes, ponds and canals in the lowland habitats (less than 100m a.s.l.) were more vulnerable to the introduction of alien turtles – more than 73% of found alien turtles weredetected at low altitudes. The two other subspecies (T. s. scripta and T. s. troostii), which emerged in the pet tradeas a “substitute” after the ban on import and trade of Red-eared sliders, were also recorded at the few localities.They can hybridize with the Red-eared slider (T. s. elegans) and possibly increase its invasive potential. The stricterenforcement of the existing legislature in Serbia is needed, together with raising public awareness of the problemand eradication of established populations. Building of turtle sanctuaries is also suggested as an ethical andecologically safe alternative for disposal of unwanted pets.

AB  - This study presents an overview of localities where the alien pond slider Trachemys scripta (Thunberg in Schoepff, 1792) (Emydidiae) and its subspecies, T. s. elegans (Wied-Neuwied, 1839), T. s. scripta (Thunberg in Schoepff, 1792) and T. s. troostii (Holbrook, 1836), has been introduced in Serbia and shows indication of its possible reproduction in this country. The number of the new reports of these turtles is almost equal to the number of previously published findings. Most introductions as well as the cases of possible reproduction (nest-digging females and hatchlings found) have been concentrated around the large urban hubs - Belgrade and Novi Sad cities, where the largest populations have been detected. Generally, the water bodies in the lowland habitats (less than 100 m a.s.l.) were proven to be much more vulnerable to the introduction of alien turtles - more than 73% of cases of introduction were detected at low altitudes. Previously unreported "substitute" subspecies (T. s. scripta and T. s. troostii) can hybridise with the red-eared slider (T. s. elegans) and possibly increase its invasive potential. We suggest stricter enforcement of the legislation, together with raising public awareness of the problem, eradication of the established populations and building turtle sanctuaries as an ethical and ecologically safe alternative for disposal of unwanted pets.
