You should get grandfathered in and get to keep all you have. Also they told me they are not going to stop people from keeping what they hatch out.

But then as you said everytime you call or email them you get a different answer.

I hate to say it but we all need lawyers just to get by in life anymore. So much for a free country.

They did not make any rules to acount for people that have been able to do a good job of keeping and breeding box turtles because the so called experts say nobody is doing any good at it for the most part. What will they do when people start to panic and let a bunch of non-indigenous box turtles go in the wild in Texas due to there regulating all of the species and subspecies even non-indigenous? The rules can cause more harm than good as they are over kill and not thought out. It is just agenda pushing fruit cakes that have pushed these laws through by putting pressure on TP&W and maybe even a few fruits from within that are going along with it. Eric
