:I have two baby RES a little over an inch in diameter. I bought them in Florida. I wanted to take them to a vet just to get them checked over. First is this necessary? Second, i finally found a vet that specializes in turts and this might sound silly, but she can't take them away from me right? I know you're not allowed to sell turts under 4 inches, but i bought mine this size. I'm just nervous the vet will try and take them away bc its technically illegal to have them when they are this small right? :(

no kristy, its illegal to sell them under 4 inches, but not to own them under 4 inches. And second, i took my baby turts to the vet when they were just little bitty (about the size of yours) and they basically told me what i already knew. But they did give me some valuable info and it only cost me $14.50. I recomend taking them to the vet when they are young to make sure they dont have any diseases or sicknesses, and they will give ya some valuable info too. Hope this helps, kevin
