where did everyone get their turtles? i live in ohio and the venders need a special license to sell them. im just not sure where to go. is it safe to get them online? its almost impossible to find them.

As far as online breeders, I've heard great things about TurtlePimp.

I'm not in the states so I can't be of too much help. Generally, purchasing online is fine as long as you're dealing with someone that knows what they're doing.

There's an older poll question about how big everyone's turtle was when they got it and a lot of people talk about where they got them as well. Here's the link if you want to read through that: http://www.redearslider.com/forum/viewt ... light=poll

Also, there's probably some older posts on the on-line breeders as well if you want to search for that.

BTW, I bought mine while on vacation in Florida at a souvenir shop having no idea what I was getting into. But I love my little guy and wouldn't do anything different if I had to do it over.
