Organism: Trachemys scripta elegans (Red Eared Slider)Method of homeostasis: "sun" basking
Location: 6 Sandra Pond Road, Westborough MA, (this is my pet turtle)
Red eared slider turtles are ectotherms and therefore must get most of their heat from the environment; therefore to maintain homeostasis they bask under the "sun" (the hot light at top left).
