Hello, I am new to Tortoise ownership, well It has been 10 yrs since I owned any until now. I was told by my brother that I may not be able to take my tortoises when I move out of state. Can someone shed some light on all this. I have Eastern Box turtles, Red footed Tortoises and Sulcatas right now But plan to get some Leopards and maybe a few other species. I am in VA. He said that Sulcatas must have documentation of where they came from and a Health cert( I got one from a Pet shop) and wasn't given anything but a reciept and my Eastern Boxes are native to where I live now so I am confused. Lastly do I need a license to sell them if I end up with young? I mean a license thru somewhere other than a local business license. Thanks so much!

I guess it would depend on the state. I don't know about the others, but I know in Michigan you must have a license to keep eastern boxies.
