Is it Permissible to Raise Hermann's Tortoises?

View Post in Vietnamese: >> Có được phép nuôi rùa Hermann không?

I am very fond of raising and collecting various types of turtles (of course, those that are legally allowed). Recently, I came across an advertisement online for a strange type of turtle, which I found very appealing. According to the seller, it is a Hermann's tortoise. I am unsure whether this type of tortoise is permitted to be kept at home, as it seems quite unfamiliar. I kindly request the Editorial Board to advise me on this matter. Thank you very much.

According to the provisions of the Criminal Code 2015, it is prohibited to keep endangered, rare, and precious species that are prioritized for protection.

The list of endangered, rare, and precious animals is stipulated in the List of Endangered, Precious, and Rare Forest Plants and Animals issued together with Decree 06/2019/ND-CP.

According to this Decree, the Hermann's tortoise is not listed as an endangered, rare, or precious animal, so you are allowed to keep Hermann's tortoises at home.

Sincerely!
