Desert Box Turtles on C-list

I sure hope these are not native Arizonians because it is illegal to sell native species.

If I'm not mistaken, I do believe that some leuteola are native to Arizona. So, it would be illegal to sell them in Arizona.

This was discussed in the Arizona Herp Association forum 3 weeks ago


Quote from Neurotoxin:
"It is up to AZGFD to prove were the turtle came from. Not the owner.
And even if it is native all the person has to do is give the turtle away for free and charge 50.00 or what ever price for a care sheet or tank that go with the turtle. People have been doing it with baby DT's for years in AZ. Same goes for cal kings and many other reptiles. Old news. "
