I live in Georgia where the alligator snapping turtle is protected. Is there anyway to find a captive bred specimen and keep it legally?

Gator snappers are native where you live so you would have to have a permit get in touch with your local dnr they will steer you in the right directio gator snappers are so neat i have a yearling when i find the right enclosure i will get a big one take care Dan

Well, I live in Virginia, which is not Georgia obviously, but Canebrakes are protected here, and I looked into getting a permit or something to keep one, and Fish and Game told me no Ifs, Ands or Buts about keeping one. Period. Captive Bred or not. None what so ever.
Ga FNG might have the same attitude.

Like said befor ask you local dep. of wildlife fisheres & Parks, as for captive breeding yes they are I at one time owned legaly a allagator snapper, and I purchased it captive born. I know for my state that there are some animals you cant keep if there wild caught but you can if there captive born for example skunks cant be kept if there wild caught but you can if there captive raised.
hope this helps.

As an advocate of any DNR, I'll reiterate the same sentiments from above. Checking with the local DNR is invaluable when it comes to obeying any hidden laws.
Here in MD it's illegal to have in your possession any of the local endangereds. On our list is the Timber. They however, will not distinguish between a cb or wc, nor will they between a Timber or a Canebrake. They consider them to be of the same species here. Even if I could prove without a doubt that it's a Canebrake born and bred in Georgia, I would still have my permit yanked. So the case in point is to check with DNR. They can steer you in the properness of whether they distinguish between cb or wc.
Good luck,
Matt
