Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
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.

you must aquire a permit from the DNR.
michigan is pretty darn strict on this too... i dunno if anyone would ever find out, but if they did you could bet you would be paying some substancial fines and possibly have your house search by DNR agents (who don't need a warrant by the way). the DNR can sieze anything they want in an investigation in michigan... not really the kind of people i'd want messing with me.

Mich. DNR Rules on Collecting Herps
Here are the DNR rules for collecting and selling herps. They are covered under fishing licenses:
Amphibians and reptiles MAY NOT be shot with firearms (including spring, air, or gas propelled) or bow and
arrow. The following shall not be taken or possessed except as authorized by the Director of the Department
of Natural Resources: Blandings, spotted, wood, and eastern box turtle; black rat snake, eastern fox
snake, copperbelly watersnake, kirtlands snake and massasauga rattlesnake; boreal chorus frog, Blanchards
cricket frog; smallmouth salamander, marbled salamander; all reptile eggs; and amphibians and reptiles
protected under Part 365 (Endangered Species) of 1994 P.A. 451. For further information, ask for list FO-224.
Personal Use: A fishing license is required to take frogs and turtles for personal use and as such may not be
bought, sold, or offered for sale. Hand, trap, nets, seines (up to 12 x 4 feet overall dimensions), and hook
and line may be used. Set lines may not be used to take turtles. Frogs may be speared but NOT with the aid
of an artificial light. Traps used (or possessed) in areas frequented by reptiles must have a plate or tag
attached bearing the name and address of the user in legible English. For taking turtles, no more than three
(3) traps may be used, mesh traps must be no less than one (1) inch mesh, and traps must be set to allow
turtles to surface and breathe.
Commercial Use: A commercial amphibian and reptile license is required to take turtles and frogs for
commercial sale. The take is restricted to snapping turtles and green frogs ( Rana clamitans). License
applications are available from DNR Customer Services (517- 373-1204).

A good rule of thumb here in Michigan is when in doubt do not do it...
Being the subject of a raid is not a fun time as a lot of people I know were in such a situation with the joke called operation slither.
And if your animals are seized they are subject to being frozen and killed to preserve the evidence..if they are wrong in identification they will not admit it 90% of the time.
With that being said it is time for my bald eagle sandwich sprinkled with orchids and a touch of turtle sauce

Technically, you can't even possess the following, no matter where they came from:
Blandings, spotted, wood, and eastern box turtle; black rat snake, eastern fox
snake, copperbelly watersnake, kirtlands snake and massasauga rattlesnake; boreal chorus frog, Blanchards
cricket frog; smallmouth salamander, marbled salamander
I know a guy who got caught with a CAPTIVE BRED Blanding's turtle he bought in ANOTHER STATE. He still wound up in a world of trouble.
