I don't know man, why don't you look up your State Fish & Game website and find out.

The only thing I noticed was this:

On Lake Okeechobee, no person may take or sell any peninsular cooter (Pseudemys peninsularis), Florida red-bellied turtle (Pseudemys nelsoni), Florida snapping turle (Chelydra serpentina osceola), or Florida soft-shelled turtle (Apalone ferox) having a carapace length of less than eight inches.

So as long as it's not from there I guess you're good to go.
