Florida seems to be an invasive species magnet!I believe you can't sell turtles under a certain size. The surf shops in Myrtle Beach used to skirt this by selling the enclosures. They were these small Critter Keepers. Buy an enclosure, get a free baby turtle.  Feels dubious, but I've seen things like that advertised as "for educational purposes only" as well. I am by no means advocating for doing it, but there are always ways around the rules. Or at least someone willing to test it.</blockquote>
