A bill was passed a couple of years ago banning the commercial harvest. It's illegal to have a terrapin UNLESS you can prove you had it before the 2008 regulations went into affect or have proof it was not taken from the wild in MD. Breeding is allowed with a permit. So, if you know of a captive breeder in PA or another state, you can purchase one or they occasionally come up for adoption from MD rescues. Make sure you save all receipts, airbills from shipping, etc. (but that's a given for any reptile).

FYI, MD also requires the same permit for keeping turtles under 4" (so that we can be in compliance with health code regs).

Terrapins are in "List B".
