THESE ARE ILLEGAL TO SELL OR KEEP IN OHIO> YOU HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO THE STATE DEPT OF NATURAL RESOURCES> THEY WILL BE IN TOUCH SOON>

If he has permission from the Ohio Division of Natural Respources to 1: Keep and 2:Sell (Propogation permit from ODNR) then he is OK. I don't know his situation but it is legal to keep Easterns if one has received the proper permits from the state of Ohio and can prove (out of state sells receipt) that the turtles were not poached and are tagged. He definitly need to be compliant with the Division of Natural Resources though.

i'm not debating whether or not these are cb, i bought them because i believed they were, but i have no clue. i ordered three of them when he first put them up about a month ago because i lost 2 of my females in winter hibernation. They didn't look wc...they ate relatively quickly, don't have any shell damage, and didn't seem to be as afraid of being handled as most wc box turtles. but i ordered 1 male and 2 females. when they arrived it was 3 males, and he shipped two day instead of the overnight i paid for. He now ignores every text/email i send him. I'd say buy at your own risk. but...I did not have a positive experience.

I for one don't like buying from those who cannot at least take proper pictures of the animals they want to sell.Just saying.

Those are definitely not cb animals.

I agree, Ronnie. Wc look, wc price. Not sure any permit allows collection of wild caught specimens and resell. Buyer beware.

Ohio allows you to collect only the following native species,
Eastern Musk Turtle (Sternotherus odoratus)
Midland Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta marginata)
Northern Map Turtle (Graptemys geographica)
Red-eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans)

but NONE of these are allowed to be resold regardless of permit and PIT tagging. You can keep up to four WC of each species and sell their offspring as CB with the commercial propagating license. The actual WC specimens may not be sold, traded, gifted, etc. Even with the propagating license, you have to PIT tag CB animals before the sale, trade, gifting.

EBT's are a species of concern in Ohio and cannot be collected from the wild. The only species you can harvest with a fishing license are snappers and softshells.

The protected species in Ohio are EBT's, Blandings, Spotted, Wood, and Ouachita Map.

Buyer beware for sure.

These are the same photos he's been posting for weeks. Department of Natural Resources has been notified. Keep in mind this could be a sting operation. If if sounds too good, it probably is. This is one deal to run from.

I messaged him. His reply to me is that they are al 100% legal. He says he has all documentation to prove. His emails are very short and to the point. I think I am skipping this for now.
