Looking for a baby snapping turtle in Texas or someone who will ship to Texas.

Thanks in advance.

Got any pet shops around?
I keep seeing them mixed in with tiny RES and soft shells thinking that some kid is gonna lose a finger!:)
I didn't think of that, I will take a ride to a few pet shops and see what I can find.

There is a big reptile show in San Antonio next weekend that I was thinking of going to, but that depends on this weather.

There is a law against the sale of turtles less than 4".
I still see them all of the time, here.
Usually there is a sign that reads "for educational purposes only" or some such crap.

Yes, they can be sold of educational purposes. My wife is a teacher so it will be for educational purposes... lol

Not yet, even the exotic pet store that usually carries REs doesnt even have any turtles. I saw one on Craigslist the size of a half dollar.

Here is his home. I decided to skip on the pond for now. He is smaller than I thought so he will live in this 20 long until after this winter.

And here are Freds friends enclosures.

4 Burmese pythons, a southern copperhead, some little frogs that were in the ditch of my son's school and he brought home, and of course Fred.
