I ❤ Alligator Snapping Turtles

In Florida it has been declared illegal to posses a snapping turtle without a permit. Just this week a man was found with one and was fined and sent to jail after being found with one inside his washing machine. Along with the turtle they also found snakes lizards and other reptiles in the household. Wright, the owner of the house was put into jail after trying to deny the police access to his house. It was not illegal for him to have the other animals, but he did not have a permit for the snapping turtle, and also denied the police entrance to search the premises.
