Other Turtle Discussion :: Ol' member here with a Q

[Opus]

Hi,

I haven't been on here for a while, and i wouldn't be surprised if nobody remembers me


I'm currently living in Tokyo Japan and in next year I plan on moving back Canada(Victoria B.C to be exact)

And I am wondering if I was allowed to take my RES and Painted turtle with me, and if it was legal to own a Painted over there

I know this is a difficult question to answer, but i just thought why not give it a shot


Thank

Hey Opus, generally it's been very difficult to transport RES between borders. Canada has been very strict about it lately, so I would start with finding out what you need from the Canadian Wildlife Services. Transportation would be a whole different ordeal.
