FAQs

Do you take in red eared sliders?2026-05-13T09:22:08-04:00

No, we do not take in red eared sliders.

Key Rules (from the 2018 law)

  • Importing them into Connecticut is banned (with limited exceptions).
  • Buying, selling, or exchanging them is generally prohibited, except for turtles with distinctive aberrant color patterns (e.g., albino or amelanistic). Even then, sellers must keep records of the buyer’s name and address.
  • Releasing them into the wild (lands or waters of the state) is illegal.
  • Possession: If you legally acquired one before the restrictions tightened, you can keep it. New acquisitions are heavily limited due to the import/sale bans.

This 2018 law (Public Act 18-114) was passed because red-eared sliders are invasive and can outcompete native turtles. They are commonly released pets that have established populations in the state.

What age groups are your shows best for?2026-05-13T09:00:14-04:00

Perfect for ages 6 and up. We adjust content—simpler for younger audiences, deeper science for middle – high school and adults.

For daycare age kids – 5 and under we offer petting zoo style set ups only for up close viewing with full parental supervision required at all times for each child.
