People who like wildlife prefer to bring it home because of less space and not much care required. Not only children, people of all ages like turtles. However, before bringing a turtle home, you need to know about the law. In some places you cannot travel with a tortoise. If we talk about the legal aspect, except for some special species of turtles, you can make them pets, but it is necessary to take it from a legal source only. For this, find out about the government rules in whatever state you are in. In this you will also know from where you can get the turtle and of what size and weight. Turtles can also be taken from the wildlife sanctuary.

According to our Wildlife Act, we cannot keep any species of tortoise from India in our house. Exotic means turtles of origin outside India can be reared. According to the law, we can keep foreign turtles legally.
