: Hi Tom,
: Have you tried contacting a turtle club in your area?
: Gophers are federally protected with some funky laws so be sure you read up on the laws.
: Your local club will probably know the laws and permitting requirements for your state.
: Heather

I'm living in Kentucky and there are no state laws applicable to Gophers. According to various sources, gophers which are obtained legally and breed are okay to sell if you are not in a state
which protects these tortoises. Gophers are federally protected west of Alabama. Whatever happened to Jeff and the 10 baby gophers for $50. each. Tom
