I just want everyones opinion on this bogus 4 inch rule on turtle and tortoises especially Russians and stars.this law keeps the harvesting of wild young tortoises going and until it is removed we will all have to deal with the poor sick wild caught torts we see at local and chain pet stores.if we got rid of it and started selling hatchlings and bring up the demand for them we can slow down the harvest.hatchlings are much harder to find and mayby they can switch to breeding them instead of hunting them.this also would create jobs for breeding and allot of less heartbroken owners.what do you guys think?I was in pennsilvania once and. stopped at a petsmart .i asked the salesman to feed the Russians so I could see wich was healthiest for a future purchase.the one that ate and looked healthiest was far from it.I picked him up and he wieghed nothing like a empty shell.he had atleast 8 ticks on him.there were 9 males and no females in a 20 gallon tank. All the males did was fight.the sales man had no idea abought them eather.I think they should change the law to any size tort but you must go to classes on the reptiles you want to sell and pass a test on each. Pluss the seller can only sell the reptiles he has been licenced to.what do you guys think about that.
