General Care Discussion :: Where to get turtles in my area

[joem1481]

I live in New Jersey were within couple oif hours is a good place to get baby turtles? I want little ones so i can raise them myself like a couple of inches or so. If you can give me some specific locations not just NY or PA.

Thanks

i'm in new jersey as well...you're not going to find them anywhere in the tristate area legally because hatchlings are illegal to sell. only place i know you can get them is in china town in nyc but i wouldn't suggest it because they are often not well taken care of and don't last very long after purchasing them because they are usually diseased or extremely sick.

yeah i am not going to go there. There has got to be someone around here who has them i am just looking for them. I go tone online and had it shipped to me but i dont want to do that again because 1 out of 3 lived

you could always try checking on craigslist in the local area...i saw some guy selling 2 a while ago.
