Posted by: ambull at Mon Jul 7 13:09:47 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by ambull ] I'm sure you know some say that the Bog Turtle is not really so endangered but just really really secretive and therefore hard to come by. Not sure what to believe but I must say I'd love to get a hold of a couple myself. You can forget about finding them for sale. Your only chances are to find them in the wild. Good luck with that too. I spent several weekends searching through the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in basking ridge NJ (even got authorization for the "employee only" "restricted" section) and came up empty handed. If you are lucky enough to somehow obtain any you better keep it awfully quiet because Fish and Wildlife service WILL bust your ass. There was a guy about ten years ago from north NJ that got his house raided for keeping (even breeding?) Bog turtles. Was all over the news. Believe it or not I even called the guy and he told me that he was treated like a common criminal. Suppossedly got in a lot of trouble. The funny thing is before we hung up and after he seemed to trust that I was ledgit he stongly hinted that the feds didn't get all his Bogs and that he still had some hidden away... [ Hide Replies ]
