Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

What is the Legality of all Snapping Turtle species in New York?
Does anyone one know the legality of Common Snapping Turtles, Florida Snapping Turtles, Mexican Snapping Turtles, South American Snapping Turtles, Alligator Snapping Turtles, and Hybrid Snapping Turtles in the state of New York? Since the internet has a million different answers that aren't even clear, I'm hoping you guys can give me the correct answer cause I really want to own one of these amazing reptiles.
The most authoritative answer would likely come from NY DEC. Have you inquired with them? Doing so in writing would be advisable for any future legal situations.
NY State sure doesn't make the legislation easy to find. It looks like only Chelydra serpentina is regulated, so all other species of snapper are either unregulated or covered under some other law that I couldn't find.

Basically all native species are regulated in New York State and illegal to possess with proper permits or licenses. The common Snapping turtle can be taken during a designated hunting season as a game species. This does not cover keeping it at a pet or for display.
