Turtles & Torts in Tennessee

pumpkin001 Jul 21, 2006 08:52 PM

Does anyone live in TN and keep tortoises/turtles? Thinking of relocating - I have a copy of the regulations. The only way looks like having a wholesale license. They make it confusing (of course) showing a Class 1 for most but class 3 for harmless - do they fall under a 3 or 1? How easy do they make it to acquire the wholesale license? I only breed on a small scale now - all sold in Florida - so that is not a problem. I can increase breeding to holesale in order to keep them if needed - but would like to know what they consider "wholesale" - because I don't believe in raising by the thousands. How strict are they if you have a couple turtles in your pond or half a dozen running around in your yard? I have had some of them for over 12 years and would never consider parting with them. All responses appreciated.
