can I feed all species of roach to my chams?

[Kibu]

I live In Fl, and I heard it was illegal to import any kind of non-native roaches, can I catch a few around my house and breed them, and wait 4 any kind of pesticide to get out of their system?

 

[Kibu]

Anybody???

no expert but, I know dubias are fine but there could be a risk

yes they would be fine. The risk of feeding wild would be pesticides and if you are gong to breed them, then I don't think there would be a problem. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

Isn't there gonna be a reptile show anytime soon. You might be able to pick some up there

Kibu- There is a show in Tampa coming up in June. There may be feeder roaches there. I would not feed the roaches you can find outside, just for the mere fact that they're pests. I could breed and feed feeder roaches, but something about those roaches from outside are just things I cannot tolerate LOL. Just my opinion.

On faunaclassifieds in the feeder section, there is a person from FL selling florida legal roaches. PM me if you want a link and some info.

Are Hissing cockroaches illegal?

In FL? Yes, I believe they are. Not too sure about other places. In FL, only native and introduced species are allowed to be kept.
