Re: It finally happened...
It's still in effect and never was removed. The idea is to help regulate salmonella, and people seem to think that kids won't put a turtle under 4" in their mouths..
Anyway,
People got away with it because of simple signs and everyone turned the other way on wholesellers and internet sales. Now, with Florida getting so anti on everything, old regulations are being enforced and they're hitting hard.
Red ears were hit hard in Florida simply because of interbreeding in the wild with native turtles. People were grandfathered in, but no new animals can be obtained, no hatchlings or ect. Plus rules on keeping have gotten a bit "extreme" but I guess do what you gotta do. The only sales can go out of state and permits are now needed for that.
And, you can still buy morphs.
