Hello everyone! My name is Sara. I'm 21 years old and i'm currently a college student who works part time at a pet store that deals with mostly snakes and lizards. I've always loved turtles and tortoises, but never had the chance to own one. Now I think i'm ready to take the plunge and get a box turtle.
I had my heart set on an eastern box turtle, but I've found out that they are illegal to keep in PA because they are native. I'm a bit bummed, but I would still like to get a box turtle regardless. While looking online, i've found some hybrids that caught my eye. They have 4 different box turtles mixed in with them (including the eastern box turtle). Would they be legal to keep in PA? Any information would be appreciated!
