My neighbor's backyard is crawling with turtles and tortoises, here are his two babies, he's had them over 15 years.

You can see in the above picture that he painted a small "2" on her shell.

 
Where did he get them? I would think it may be illegal to keep one. He work for the zoo or something?

From what I gather, a long time ago a man brought some back from the islands before there were restrictions put on exportation of anything from the island, and he got a hold of them through this man.
