As we all know it is illegal to sell turtles under four inches, which a breeder was trying to do on Craigslist and getting killed by posts by flag Nazis. Here is what someone from the DNR had to say about the matter. They are pretty much saying they are not going to come knocking down your door over selling turtles as long as you are responsible and not releasing them into the wild.

I work at the DNR wild life division. As for the comment of the lady or gentleman stating that the federal is above all Georgia Law, that is true. But the Federal Law clearly states selling of turtles under 4 inches. Now I haven't seen the posting of the gentleman or lady that is posting these turltes. But as long as the person is not stating "For Sale" or they do not have a physical store, then there is nothing wrong with what he/she is doing. The main concern we have as far as the Federal law as well is please DO NOT release any captive and non Georgia animals into the wild. Spread of Disease is the main concern. Just like many Federal and State Laws there are always loop holes and ways of getting around them.
The federal law will always ask the local DNR to look into complaints.
I mean seriously, do you honestly think the Federal Gov. or anything to do with the Government will invest anytime in something as small as a case about turtles?
