Ironically enough if this staph guy were to move here to florida, depending on how many box turtles he had he would quite likely be in violation of Fl. law. You are allowed 2 per person per household of any subspecies of T. carolina. Breeding is not outlawed but strongly discouraged and you need to get rid of the babies quickly however you cannot sell them.
The box turtle scenario here in Fl is a good example of the REAL environmental threat in this state. I have a male fl. box turtle that I have had for about 12 or 13 yrs now. I found it while working on a construction site in sanford fl. at sr46 and rhinehart rd. just off of I-4. In fact I found it where the race track gas station is now at the time it was a semi-wooded area and I was "watering some trees". As I said that piece of land is now a gas station and most of the surrounding forrest is gone. The rest will go when the building starts again. It may take 4 or 5 years which in the lifespan of a box turtle is nothing but even still this turtle would most likely be an urban fossil right now had I not grabbed it.
The python thing is a classic case of misdirection habitat destruction is the worst environmental problem in this state and construction companies rule here. I wouldn't be surprised if the roc legislation is intended to drive herpers out of the state because the developers know we are a potential problem for them being able to bulldoze down gopher tortoises box turtles indigos and everything else in their path.
