Surely I'm not the only one. Why are there laws against selling tortoises and turtles in NC?

Ooh... as a NC native, I didn't know this and it's very unfortunate news. :/ (I guess it also explains why none of the pet stores in my area carry turtles/tortoises.)

That's what I learned in trying to buy one. I live in SC but close to the NC line and shop there a lot. I was told to go buy mine in SC. Makes it hard to find supplies too. I buy food online if I'm not using fresh.

Probably due to some parent not doing their job and making sure their child washes their hands. So many things now days are being taken away from the parents responsibility and being put on everyone else. It's ridiculous.

Maybe they thought it would discourage people from collecting them from the wild to sell?
