How cool!
I want to go to one of these shows.

Why did you blank out the prices? I like seeing price differences of shows.

The way I see it is that it is probably illegal to have these small critters for sale in my opinion. But I can email you the pics at a smaller size, or safer yet I can PM you a list of the names and prices from the blanked out ones.

All turtles under 4" are "technically" illegal to sell as pets, but you may have seen signs stating that all turtles under 4" are sold for educational purposes.
I still don't understand why that would concern you...Were you there selling?
Anyway....
Thanks for the pics.

I never sold animals in my life but adopted several and bought a couple from the store Petsmart, Petco, The Animal House, Vahls Bird Shop and maybe other places. Even in Mexico when I was ten I knew not to purchase a baby turtle from a street vendor (bazar like) because I figured The United States of America would frown to my mischievous purchase, but now I see these baby turtles up for sale in the U.S. and am conflicted on the what are the real rules.

My rule for buying baby turtles from vendors, is buy them if you have the means to. Do you see how poor the conditions are in some of those tanks. Why would you rather buy a 4 inch that's living comfortable in petco or petsmart, than buy a little baby that is in a 1 liter tank with 20 other babies. :/
