I've read that the Elongated tortoise is listed as endangered. There is a pet store near me selling a captive born baby. Is it legal to buy and own this animal? I am in Pennsylvania and I know most state laws deal with native species so I am unclear on this. The FWS website seems to indicate as long as it is not sold/transported out of state it is legal. Anyone know for sure?
