They tend to remain almost fully aquatic once they have gone through their
juvenile terrestrial red eft stage, but be advised that they should always have some
form of basking island or bank, and, as such, they can also easily escape most any fish tan — and
often do, to their own peril.
Research within clinical populations consistently finds that girls are more
often abused than boys, although research focused on the broader population of community youth has not shown such gender differences in rates of physical maltreatment.72 Female offenders typically are abused before their first offense.73 Among girls in the California
juvenile justice system, 92 percent report some
form of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse.74 Self - reported victimization rates among boys in the
juvenile justice system are considerably lower, though boys may be more likely than girls to underreport certain
forms of abuse.75 Some studies report abuse rates for males between 25 percent and 31 percent, while others report rates of 10 percent for sexual abuse and 47 percent for physical abuse.76 Closer comparison reveals that delinquent males and females tend to report different types of traumas as well.
