Logger Head Turtles Need advice (Canadian especially)

[jartist15]

Ok so there was an add on here not to long ago about loggerhead turtles for sale. I have been hooked ever since. I really want one but i am in canada. Would it be a problem getting over the boarder if i had it shipped??
Also the guy wants 75 a piece, is this an alright price? if i saw it in a store for that price i would be hesitant over it. But i would have to pay like 40 bucks for shipping on top of it.
Next This is where Canada comes into play, if you live in southern ontario and would also like one i can order them and we could split shipping. I have a car and am willing to meet halfway.
Last here is a link to the FS add

You mean Loggerhead Musk I assume.

I couldn't tell you how it works to ship a turtle into Canada but I bet it's a pain in the butt and expensive. That's pretty expensive for that species of Musk. I can get a baby/juvenile for $20-$30 bucks around here.

yes sorry loggerhead musks, i thought it sounded expensive. The guy selling them thought it would be 40 $ over night shipping. So if anyone else is willing to pick one up for me and go though the hassel of shipping it to me i would gladly pay you an extra shipping fee for your hassel

Anyone in canada know where to get these?

you could try port credit pets but shipping into canada would be like $200-400 so I wouldnt even bother but you could cross the border, pick it up at a fedex or whatever then drive over the border and get an inspection that would cost about 100

seems like way to much work just to get a turtle. seems dump, be alaska would be easier to ship to, although the actual distance and safety of the turtle is so much worse

Sneak over the border and pick one up. I won't tell.
