The regs don't suprise me. Anything kept over 30 days may not be released back into the wild.
I'll have to post a few pics one of these days. I have a box turtle living in my front yard. I have no idea how it survived to get there, it's surrounded by roads and there isn't really much wooded areas for quite a ways.
