I don't know much, but I can tell you that they're listed as CITES 1. So they can't pass state lines. I know a few people breed them in Florida, but unless you live there, you'll probably have a tough time obtaining one. One table had a bunch at the Daytona Expo, but I can't remember who. Sorry, hope this helps. Good luck,

CITES does not apply to interstate commerce, only international trade. Geoclemys is listed by the USFWS which restricts interstate commerce to permitted individuals. Wayne Hill produces them in Florida and can be reached through the Daytona Expo website http://www.reptilebreedersexpo.com/
