Very nice. Where are the two females from? If you don't mind me asking.

The females were obtained locally in a trade for spotted turtles.

If both parties have permits then there is no problem. And they do!

I understand. There was no mention of permits being in place though, so I just wanted to make sure they were aware.

Thanks, Berkeley, I do have the proper permits and so did the other collector. The Illinois DNR approved all transactions. We are all big fans of our shelled friends and are working to perpetuate these species.
