Red-eared I'd say Ken, a real nuisance in some places where they've been released.
I hadn't realised we had more than one, released, nuisance species in the UK.
I assume they're culled when the opportunity arises?
They’re found everywhere in North America as well, way outside their native range in the SE US. I don’t know that the introduced populations do much harm, however.

On that note, do otters prey on terrapins? If so, that'd make a great argument for otter reintroduction schemes all over Europe.You probably have predators better able to deal with them than we do.

Please can anyone advise whether terrapins are edible?
