Here in MI Spotteds are a species of special concern which means no collecting from the wild ... but we can possesses, buy, sell spotteds as long as they are captive bred from legally acquired adult spotteds, MI DNR Prefers they come from out of state but its not a big issue as long as there is a paper trail.



Pet stores in MI are even allowed to sell them.



MI DNR's big issue is that these Spotteds are no NEVER be released into the wild which would allow them to breed with the MI locality Spotteds and alter the bloodlines.



Same thing with all MI speies of Special Concern, even E Massasauga's .. if you can find legal CB specimens with a paper trail of documentation ten there ok to have/buy/sell within the state ... (good luck finding legal documented E. Sauga's tho!)
