hi i just read your response about herp laws in tennessee...i was wondering if you could tell me where you got the information at about the turtles. i work at a petsmart and people get so mad at me when i tell them its illegal in tennessee to have a turtle or for us to sell them....so i was thinking maybe where you got your information from would give me more of a response to the rude people. ive been telling them that its because of diseases and stuff like that. and introducing it to our ecosystems.

you can go to twra's site and get the info there or call them to get printed laws. it is actually a tennesee health department law though.

federal h/d is no turtles/tortoises under 4". Tennessee h/d law is no turtles/tortoises, period.
hope that helps,
