| Abstract |
|
Pseudemys Hatchling painted turtles (Chrysemys picta) and hatchling red-eared sliders (Trachemys scripta) were released 40 m from a drift fence with pitfall traps. I asked whether larger hatchlings were more likely to be recaptured than smaller ones. I recaptured 63 of 84 (75.0%) C. picta and 48 of 84 (57.1%) T. scripta. Larger hatchlings were not more likely to be recaptured when species identity was ignored. However, within each species, larger hatchlings were more likely to be recaptured. The smaller C. picta hatchlings reached the fence quicker but lost more mass than the larger T. scripta hatchlings.
