I see a lot of posts about hatchling care and am wondering if it is legal since they aren't pet shop size. Or is there some unspoken rule or loop hole I am not aware about.
Thank you for replying i just see every breeders website cite the federal law for turtles/tortoises needing to be 4 inches to be sold as pets but that's where it ends no info about needing proof of being a exporter or using the tortoise for education purposes.
thanks again everyone im real hesitant to order from a breeder that will ship tortoise since I live in Florida and its been scorching here lately. I would prefer to pick up my tortoise personally rather than ship him. I might just wait til repticon is in town at the end of may so I can have my research/enclosure completed.
There are multiple 4" laws. There is the Federal law and then some states have there own laws. I don't know what, if anything, FL has on the books for this.As a beginner should i consider an older tortoise as opposed to a younger one?
