Tom,

I sent you a message regarding the Michigan laws as far as what I have gathered so far. The DNR does not regulate the turtles here. They only regulate the "take" of turtles from the wild and also regulates the turtles that cannot be taken. The breeding of native turtles is regualted by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and then falls under the "Aquaculture" issues. If you don't get the other message I sent you my email address is :huntersridge2887@hotmail.com
Drop me a line there and we can go over this a little more.

Jim
