They are legal to keep if you have documentation for them. They must be from legal parents, and you'll need a permit to have them and to transport them across state lines. I know Don Hamper works with them. Click on the Breeders/Dealers/Stores part of kingsnake and click on his link. I do believe they are quite expensive.

Bog Turtles are not only Cites 1, but they are ESA as well. Last time I checked, unless you lived in ohio or florida (maybe a couple other states), you can't get them. I looked into getting some a couple years ago and was told that they cannot cross state lines or issue permits, as they didn't have a species survival plan. Anyone who can shed more light on the subject, your experience would be greatly appreciated.
