• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

Yes.

Florida Administrative Code (Rule: 68A-25.002) covers this.

The only mention of box turtles in the Rule is:
"6. No person shall possess more than two Escambia map turtles (Graptemys ernsti), two diamond-backed terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin), two box turtles (Terrapene carolina), or two loggerhead musk turtles (Sternotherus minor)."

It does not say they can't be bought or sold. There is a general restriction covering all turtle species that they can't be wild-collected:
"(c) Sale – No person shall buy, sell, or possess for sale turtles, their eggs or parts thereof, that have been taken from the wild."

But captive-bred box turtles are fine, so long as you don't go over the possession limit.
 
Some more history:

Before 2009, the rule said:
"No person shall buy, sell, or possess for sale any alligator snapping turtle (Macroclemys temmincki), box turtle (Terrapene carolina), Barbour’s map turtle (Graptemys barbouri), Escambia River map turtle (Graptemys ernsti), diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin), river cooter (Pseudemys concinna), or loggerhead musk turtle (Sternotherus minor), or parts thereof. No person shall possess more than two Barbour’s map turtles, two Escambia River map turtles, two diamondback terrapins, two river cooters, two box turtles, two loggerhead musk turtles, or one alligator snapping turtle unless authorized by permit from the executive director as provided in Rule 68A-9.002 and Chapter 68A-27, F.A.C. River cooters may not be taken from 15 April to 31 July."

Many people don't know that the Rule was changed in 2009, removing the prohibition against selling box turtles.
