Carettochelys insculpta are not illegal to buy, sell or ship within the US, at least for now, as the species is currently under review for listing to CITES.
While C. insculpta are beautiful, personable and relatively easy to maintain, emphasis must be placed on the size of the enclosure one will require when adulthood has been reached, as they grow to be very large turtles requiring a small pond for adequate housing.
