I think you meant to say Panther. Must have read my "Leopard vs. Crocodile" thread before you posted.

haha, yeah that and I just got back from my mammal culture class and todays lecture was on leopards... sorry.

I read that with iguanas youre allowed to catch and keep but you can still get in trouble if you were to re release them, I have my freshwater fish dealers license cause keeping fish legally even if non native is pert near impossible. But anythings legal long as you dont get caught but I aint taking my chances

So are you Floridians allowed to legally keep non-natives as pets if they're established in your area?

If non-natives weren't allowed to be kept, we wouldn't have the Pet trade period...........Dogs and Cats included........

I think he means non natives that are taken from the wild.There are laws against collecting native animals are'nt there?

Yes, that's what I was referring to. I know if I want to harvest a native reptile like a common snapper from here I legally need a State fishing license for that particular species. Some species we can't keep all together. My state doesn't come close to having the number of non-natives as Florida so I was curious how it works down there. If I was to move to Miami, would I need a permit to legally own my Jaguar Cichild? I sure hope not.

There are bunches of croc in the Glades, there are even some in the Sanibel area. I used to snook fish near the nesting site of a huge female croc. She could be a little aggressive.
