    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

My personal turtles. I have a job which I'm at now. so I will respond when I can. I also put the price on the ad.
 
Here they are captive bred and legal to sell in the state of South caroline other wise I would not be posting them for sell!

Great suggestion. I found that since 2014 you have been trying to sell Adult EBTs here on Fauna using two different accounts. I found that you have been or attempting to sell them outside of South Carolina since 2014.
"$500 for the pair shipped in the US"

I found that you dodged my questions repeatedly and deflected with childish responses instead. Captive bred adult EBTs or wild caught poached EBTs, makes a thinking person wonder and take pause?

Last I checked, there were no permits required to sell eastern box turtles in South Carolina. They are not a protected species. And I don't think you need a commercial permit to sell them either.

This species does in fact receive protections from the State of South Carolina, as well as limitations in it's harvesting. Are you 100% sure this seller is selling CB EBTs? I'm not, hence the questions. If they are WC, are you able to definitively answer that this seller has not reached her maximum allowed limit of out-of-states sales of WC box turtles this year? What is the higher probability, in a state where these are relatively common, that these are CB or WC?

[FONT=&quot]…The Eastern box turtle is being added to the list of Species in Need of Conservation in South Carolina. This species is relatively common in the State, but has become a target for the “wild-caught” pet trade.
