Florida Cockroach Legalities

I know hissers are illegal in Florida, but what about other exotic roaches?

I know there was that strange arthropod reg that came about there but it seems everyone continued to keep the various predatory inverts despite it. However, a number of roaches simply can't be illegal in Florida because they are 'native'

Blaberus discoidalis

Blaberus craniifer

Nauphoeta cinerea

Pycnoscelus surinamensis

Panchlora nivea

Eurycotis floridana

Hemiblabera tenebricosa

various Periplaneta species

Arenivaga sp.

 
I read about that on Arachnoboards... I was specifically wondering about B. giganteus. Because of that list though, it looks like my mom'll do some babysitting.

 
I don't have documentation in front of me, but I searched this topic online for an entire evening awhile back and found that ALL non-native roaches are illegal to own in Florida. You can own any species that is naturally found in the state, but that is it.
