Greetings from Germany, where red eared and yellow eared sliders are banned now, because people got the turtles as tiny cute babies and got rid of them in ponds and rivers as they got bigger, smellier and vicious. Out in nature they became an invasive species
I am a turtle geek myself. Believe they should be left alone for nature to take care of them like it did for thousands of years. Ban all sales and farmers from interfering with the natural course of evolutionary survival
Ive been buying baby snappers from online dealers since 2001, Just look em up and say they're for educational purposes. Anyone going that far to purchase these turles are knowlegable and wouldnt get the salmonella disease because you would know to wash your hands after handling them.
MrsShocoTaco nope but then again turtles aren't the only animal that can't be sold, not even close. There's a list of about 200 different species that can't be kept or sold in the state of Arizona alone.
Maybe if those selling baby turtles were honest with the buyers, we'd be willing to lift the restrictions. Of course, if the sellers where honest, there would be a lot fewer buyers. Sellers often claim the babies won't get any larger or that they don't need much care. These turtles can live up to 20, 30, even 50 years or more and grow up to 11". That is NOT the perfect pet for everyone.
Gee other countries can get our turtles but us Americans can't, yeah we us Americans are now 'enemies of the state"-get out of our lives big-brother watching our every move.
does anyone have any rare species of water turtle like , baby caramel color slider turtle, albino,hypo pastel, caramel pink albino , Hypo Translucent Albino, any baby rare good coloring turtles, please let me know

I dont even remeber commenting this 😂😂
That is my grandpaw Jesse Evans but he died on November 28 2024
the food and drug administration regulates baby turtle sales? shouldnt that be the job of the department of agriculture ?
koffeekage Possibly because some people eat them. But I agree with you 100%
I like turtles

Has anyone ever just jumped in the turtle pond and started swimming with the turtles?
They will bite u bro I work there
What do people use the turtles for after you ship them?
Kevin Plitt mostly for pets but some eat them.
now imagine if they breed the albinos instead of those normal morphs
Not really, but its cool that you do. turtles are cool.
wait, so how is it that we can order turtle hatchlings online?
Law is not enforced, plus they say that they sell them for "educational purposes", which is permitted.
@@danielebarello5696 yea lol I bought turtles immediately after I made this comment a year ago lmaooooo
Am I the only one who finds it odd that a local animal cant be sold locally?
MrsShocoTaco nope but then again turtles aren't the only animal that can't be sold, not even close. There's a list of about 200 different species that can't be kept or sold in the state of Arizona alone.

This didn't age well 🥴
I'd raise em too if I could.
Can artificial breeding is possible?
all of them probably
Can't quit or won't quit cuz of the money being made. One hurricane away from a none native species taking over like the pythons in Florida
