TBH though I'm not clued up on tort laws but there's free movement in the EU generally on reps so you may be wasting your time. Certain regulations apply to various species though (like EPS legislation, article 10's for CITES I species etc.etc.). Like I say I know nothing about tort law though. Shelled section here should be able to clear up that info for you. Last edited by Fangio; 21-09-2008 at 08:28 PM..

It's illegal as a) almost certainly it will be a Testudo Graeca (a number of subspecies live in Turkey) of some kind & needs CITES papers b) Turkey is not in the EC.
Get customs to give him a 'going over' when he lands - we don't need this kind of thing.

thing is, if he really wanted one to care for for the rest of his life they are only around 100-150 quid, depending on their age from a uk breeder. not really worth getting caught for is it, apart from the fact he is damaging wild numbers and seriously stressing whatever he intends smuggling
