legallity of roaches in florida

anybody know which roach species are banned in florida? i believe 'hissers' to be on that list. thank you

 

I know that you can buy dubias in florida great staple for beardies

 

i do believe..and this comes from someone at fish and wildlife,"all roaches are illegal to posess and breed other then dubias. madagascar hissing cockroaches may be kept with a permit."

Although I happen to know that the following species are allowed in Florida:

Blaberus discoidalis
Blaberus craniifer
Eurycotis floridana
Panchlora nivea
MALE Gromphadorhina portentosa
Pynoscelus surinamensis

All of these species make for decent feeders and can be obtained from roach hobbyists, although B. craniifer is a fairly slow reproducer and makes for a better collector species. Blaptica dubia are actually illegal to bring across the border in Florida, the best bet and most common feeder species to obtain for those in Florida is going to be discoids, Blaberus discoidalis.
