For those of you that have a MD Captive Reptile and Amphibian permit and breed native snakes in MD, what do you do for your breeding records? What do you have to show Natural Resources Police when they show up at your door and want to see your paperwork?
The turtle people are very confused as we've never been able to legally breed turtles before, and are worried that one person's paperwork may not be good enough for NRP, resulting in the confiscation of juvenile turtles.

I would contact Resouirce Police directly and request to meet with one in person to discuss it. Ask for written copies of all relevant State Codes or where you can find them. This way you have built up a good relationship with them. They will also know that you are on the up and up and then you can disseminate the info to everyone else.
I have done this here in VA and now have a good relationship with our local Animal Control with regards to my collection.
