Reptil impor banyak diminati karena memiliki variasi warna yang sangat beragam. Penelitian ini mengenai jenis reptil eksotik yang ada di Yogyakarta baik yang dipelihara maupun yang sudah terlepas atau dilepas di alam dan bagaimana pula potensi dampaknya bagi spesies reptil lokal yang ada di Yogyakarta. Penelitian dilakukan di wilayah Kota Yogyakarta dengan melakukan survei di pasar hewan, petshop dan pemelihara reptil. Penelitian telah dilaksanakan dari tanggal 1 Agustus 2013 sampai 30 November 2013. Berdasarkan hasil survei pendataan reptil impor yang dipelihara di Yogyakarta, ditemukan 80 jenis yang terdiri dari satu jenis buaya kerdil (Paleosuchus palpebrosus), 14 jenis kadal (Sauria), 21 jenis ular (Serpentes), dan 44 jenis Kura-kura (Testudines). Reptil impor yang terlepas di alam ditemukan beberapa jenis, yaitu dua ekor Red Eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans), tiga ekor Chinese Soft-shelled Turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) dan satu ekor Corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus). Red Eared Slider yang terlepas di alam dalam jumlah tersebut tidak dapat menimbulkan dampak negatif bagi reptil lokal, tetapi jika dalam jumlah yang banyak kemungkinan akan berpotensi sebagai kompetitor bagi bulus jawa (Amyda cartilaginea) dalam mencari makan. Chinese Soft-shelled Turtle yang terlepas di alam dalam jumlah tersebut kemungkinan akan berpotensi sebagai kompetitor bagi Amyda cartilaginea dalam mencari makan. Corn snake yang hanya satu ekor jika terlepas tidak akan menimbulkan dampak negatif bagi reptil lokal, tetapi jika jumlahnya terlalu banyak akan menjadi kompetitor bagi ular-ular lokal seperti ular koros (Ptyas korros), ular jali (Ptyas mucosa), ular kopi (Coelognathus flavolineatus), ular lanang sapi (Coelognathus radiatus), dan lain-lain, karena jenis mangsa yang sama.

The red-eared slider Trachemys scripta elegans is currently the only reptile species that can be legally sold as a pet in Singapore. We report on the species of tortoises and freshwater turtles that were found for sale during a survey of 27 pet shops in 2004. Although the red-eared slider was the most common species for sale, small numbers of 11 other species were available. Of these, the import of one species (the Chinese soft-shell turtle Pelodiscus sinensis) is allowed for food but import of the other 10 species is not permitted for either food or the pet trade. We found that illegally held chelonians are often not kept on the pet shop premises. Our findings suggest that the Singaporean authorities' efforts to address illegal wildlife trade have to include other methods in addition to conducting raids on shop premises.

New Habitats

The present work describes the presence of a digenean in the red-eared turtle Trachemys scripta elegans (Wied-Neuwied, 1839) in marshes of the Valencian Community. The faeces and intestinal tract of 105 animals were examined. Only one helminth species was found and identified as the digenean trematode Telorchis atenuatta (Goldberger, 1911), present in the 7.6% of the animals analysed. This is the first report of the parasite in sliders from Spain. Although conclusions are preliminary due to the limited sampling, our results suggest that the presence of red-eared turtles in new habitats may increase the risk of introducing new microorganisms and new diseases with them, altering the sanitary status of the autochthonous terrapins Mauremys leprosa (Schweigger, 1812) and Emys orbicularis (Linnaeus, 1758).
