My boyfriend bought three red slider turtles from this fish aquarium shop. He didn’t know that they were illegal under 4 inches. What I want to do is report the shop for selling them illegally and not prompting him about the dangers of salmonella poisoning (as stated by law). Who should I report the shop to?

We live in north-western CT and in our backyard we have a pond with a plastic liner. We have 2 slider turtles and 4 bullfrogs. We want to bring them in for the winter but only have a 55 gallon tank. I was wondering if they would survive the winter in the pond or if we shuld bring them in and if we do bring them in is a 55 gallon tank big enough. THANK YOU!
