Well, you're lucky, I'm in Ohio and they banned them here. If they banned turtles why don't they just ban tarantulas, lizards, snakes, etc? I had turtles as a kid and never had a problem. I did not handle them alot, but my friends with turtles didn't have a problem either. I did call today and ofcourse was told no one sells them anymore. About the FB's: yep, because of their toxin I guess the only creature to add would be a red crab and I don't want one in my tank. I'm not going to add anything, my frogs seem content.
