I live in North Carolina and the local pets stores have a great amount of supplies available for keeping Red Ear Slider turtles as pets. Unfortunately I believe it's illegal for them to sell the actual turtles in NC. Seems strange that they can sell everything you need to keep a Red Ear Slider Turtle but not the turtle itself.
Anyway, what are my options as far as purchasing a red ear slider turtle? Can you possibly order them online and receive them in NC? Is it possible that they are sold at Repticon events in NC?
I believe they are sold in SC but would prefer not to have to drive that far if there is some other way to obtain one.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
