Turtles’ time continued from page 12 farmers. “If we can ally ourselves with these large pet stores we may open new markets within the retail industry,” Evans said. Turtle farmers also hope by supplying these large pet stores with safe, abun- dant turtles, it may give their industry more credibility. Despite sales in the millions the Louisiana pet turtle industry has somehow maintained a quiet presence in the state and for that matter the United States. Evans and his colleagues believe if the FDA could reassess its ban and possi- bly amend the law so that it allows licensed turtle farmers to sell turtles under four inches - maybe then the pet turtle industry in the state would be lifted from a state of dormancy.
