Indiana Law on BOX TURTLES

[geckoleo23]

there is a law in indiana protecting box turtles, all is explained here.http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/endangered/turtle.htmI was so close to gettting a boxie from a freind, but then found out it was illegal, so I had to switch, and look into getting a russian tortoise.

Russian tortoises are awesome. They may not be the most colorful or exotic, but they're still my favorite tortoise.

Eastern Box Turtles are a protected species in Wi as well. I'm pretty sure Blanding's are too... Anyways, there is a great book called A Field Guide to Reptiles and the Law that describes laws involving herps (native and exotic) for all 50 states. I have it put away somewhere, but would love to find it. The only problem is that the most up to date version is 1998...
