Best Answer

It's illegal to buy or sell box turtles in New Jersey. In fact, you get a pretty hefty fine if you do (up to $5000). You have to first get a hobby permit from out of state and a receipt of some sort that proves where it came from. You can call the Fish and Wildlife Association of New Jersey for more information on the permit. Then you can get the turtle. But if you find a turtle, don't even touch it. You have to call the Fish and Wildlife Association to get information on how to rescue it.
