In Delaware, you must have a permit from the Director to collect or possess native reptiles, and it is illegal to take native turtles like box turtles from the wild. Non-native reptiles, including exotic species and some non-native pet turtles like red-eared sliders, require a permit to be brought into and possessed in the state. Permits are also required for commercial collection, captive breeding of native species except for licensed research or zoological display.
