That's how they've explained it to me. I legally breed Eastern Box turtles, Eastern Fox snakes, Black Kingsnakes, and some other Ohio herps. One thing further... the limit of 4 also counts for amphibian eggs for people over 17 yrs of age. My wildlife officer explained to me that the reference about legally possessing "up to 25 amphibian eggs, tedpoles or nymphs" applies only to minors.
One more thing... I believe it's legal to kill box turtles, just not to possess them. I would think we could change that if we're careful. I wouldn't want the state to ban positioning herps for pics in the field or anything, which could result happen {Look what PA is trying to do!). ----- Jamie W.
