[QUOTE="Stressed2theHilt, post: 18082, member: 1409"] I'm not sure about a single red-eared slider. Here is some info on it though. I hate to say this but I wouldn't even look into it. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I'd seriously consider "Not doing the right thing" regarding my turtles. My turtles were not acquired in Ohio therefore, they can't release them into the wild here. I've had these turtles for years but I have to prove that they were legally acquired. That is where the problem is. All of mine (adults) have been given to me by friends that found them or had them as pets but got tired of them. Even though I've had them for years, they've been wormed and very well cared for and honestly, who knew they were a regulated critter??? So I accepted them, cared for them but because they may have not been legally collected years ago...they may have to be destroyed. Oh yeah, a couple of mine have been given to me fresh after being hit by a car. Nursing them back to health may not be legal either. :hammer: According to my local wildlife inspector, it doesn't matter that I've just moved here and am trying to do the right thing. Doesn't matter that Ohio just started regulating turtles a few years ago. Bottom line is that it is dealing with state Government that doesn't have a clue yet as to how to handle it. I'm creating work for them. Frustrating at best. [/QUOTE]
