ALL NON NATIVE TURTLES BANNED?! men you guys should really do something about it, banning them like that is no awnser to anything, turtles are not exacly hard to control, even if that requires knowing all persons having non native turtles and microshiping them all. For frogs thats trickyer but for turtles that can defenetly be arranged and its no excuse for banning them! Flea markets end yes, responsable turtle ownership NO.

wow. why california?

 

[TTTT]

California has lots of stuff illegalized.

wait, does this include tortoises?

What do they expect to have happen to the massive amount of frogs and turtles people already have?

yeah turts and tortoises are already illegal here in NC but its only the sale of them, you can still own them you just have to find them elsewhere, def all you cailfornia people need go out there and fight it, having them be illegal here SUCKS and its all because irresponsible owners were stupid and didnt keep things clean, and parents not watching their children when interacting with them and people got salmonella

i dont know anything about this bill but it will probably be to where the ones already in peoples posession will be grandfathered in but that breeding them and selling them would be illegal
