I have a turtle without papers, what should I do?
I've had a Greek tortoise for five months now. I keep it in a species-appropriate manner with the right food, environment, etc. I got the tortoise from friends of my mother's. They didn't have any papers for the tortoise. Should I go to the authorities and say that I illegally kept a tortoise without papers? I would like to keep the tortoise. I've read online that some get confiscated by the authorities, and I'd like to avoid that.

Ask the acquaintances about the papers.
There are legal provisions that must be respected for good reason. If you want to keep the turtle animal-friendly, it doesn’t stay hidden that you have it anyway. Without a bargain in the garden, you can’t keep a Greek land turtle art-friendly.
Otherwise: be honest and go from itself to the authority. What happens in individual cases cannot be foreseeable. Someone who cooperates with the Nature Conservation Authority will certainly get help from them rather than someone who keeps the turtle further illegal.
What does art-friendly attitude have to do with paper? It is also possible to design a chamfer with one or two turtles so that it does not fall unbraked into the eyes of others. And, as I said, no sleeping dogs wake up and chew big and tell the story of the turtle. The fewest people know themselves with toads and know nothing about papers. No one asks about it, not a veterinarian or, possibly, a veterinary clinic. Never….and cooperate….that’s very dangerous,do you want to put it on it and hope that your visage likes the employee(officials?)? I’ve experienced quite different things……/
Nothing, but with responsible attitude. The animals do not fall under species protection law for no reason.
And this is one of the sensible attitudes of European land turtles to acquire only animals with papers and to comply with their labelling requirements. A serious veterinarian will also ask.
in 1975. I know everything you write. Your education in all honors,but it’s all about the official law and law. They taught you a lot, then my doctor and the doctors at the time worked a little slippery and did not ask for it.(?) What if I hadn’t had papers? You wouldn’t have operated or even showed me? Both are not allowed. And don’t do them either. Does a doctor ask someone who comes to him after his passport or nationality?
No.
CITES also exists not only yesterday, but since the 1970s.
In addition, the vast majority of people who make up a turtle acquire a much younger young animal. For older animals, for which no papers may have been issued, there are rules for severing.
The fact is that even animal shelters cannot convey a turtle without CITES papers. Fund animals only have to get the papers printed afterwards and only then can they be conveyed.
I happen to have studied veterinary medicine for a few semesters. Although I had gone out of physics before, I still had some propaedics; the CITES papers and the labelling obligation were the first thing we were taught in the reptile clinic.
What’s all about it? I don’t rule out that you can keep turtles in a way that is appropriate without papers. However, it is forbidden, and here as everywhere, it also applies: ignorance does not protect against punishment.
Responsible attitude can also go without papers. In addition, many land turtles come from times when there have not been such laws and regulations. They’re 40 years or older. Would you like to sign in later on and prove nothing? Of course, today it is right to acquire animals with cites, something else is not at all. And those who breed illegally stand in prison with a leg. These are the least. So you get one without papers. Unless I’ve written an older one I’ll take or inherit. They usually don’t have papers. Why? At 10 years, my grandpa found a turtle, he gave it to me. I had them another 10 years, meanwhile a proud weight of almost 2kg. She disappeared one day, probably stolen. Years none. Then as a young man I had found 2 Greeks, living in the garden of the elders. After that I remembered the passion for these animals and now hold about 37 years of Greeks. I got the oldest as a hatch, not in the world would separate us, not….not even a woman.
The other thing with the veterinarian. You’re wrong. I’ll let the animals examine every year at a serious TA, no one has been asked for maternal papers. Nor had to be operated as one in a clinic. The doctors are not legally allowed to ask for this. Oh yes, how good my kind attitude is proves every year the doctor’s report. NO BEFUND. If you have further questions, I would like to answer them very much, please PM Mr.Darwin 😉
No, no sleeping dogs wake up. The authority can come and move the animal and perhaps impose a fine. So, you seem to want to bear responsibility and show interest in turtles. Art-friendly posture with freehea and art-friendly nutrition and, of course, winter stars are not a stranger to you. Then keep it and don’t posaune it around without papers. Not necessarily telling everyone about her. Even a veterinarian does not ask for it. All good of the turtle…
