Ernie,



Thanks for the info. While it doesn't sound horrible I think it sounds a bit over restrictive. One a day? They could have at least made it a pair. Can you still sell both wild caught and captive born? What about possession limits? So if you are going to get in the breeding game you better do so in the next two years? I don't like that. Anyone at anytime should be able to get in the breeding game with sustainable harvest of course. I have heard quotes from some of the FL academic turtle agenda pushers saying that there is no sustainable harvest on turtle species. I don't believe that. What did they change the bag limits to last year, 20 a day? That seems a bit much. Maybe they should do a yearly harvest per person and have special turtle permits to raise money for some research. It would also seem reasonable to allow bigger bag limits on babies and juveniles. I swear a turtle farmer could make some decent cash breeding food turtles.
