  1. idk i agree with you we should be able to own them ive wanted one for soo long pets plus has them in the back shh though ha ornate box turtles the guy st***ask


  2. it is illegal cause they are endangered and hard to find because they get killed by predators and get ran over on roads.

  3. Box Turtles are a threatened species, and some are endangered. Many people who take the box turtles out of the wild do not supply them with adequate care, decreasing the population even more. But there are alternatives. You can own a captive bred box turtle. These are born in captivity, usually used to human contact, and come parasite free.
