I thought they were only illegal in Nevada but things change. Check with Florida's DNR. They proably have a website.
ill been selling a few of these crays and the only states i know there illegal in are nevada and oregon.. if your interseted in buying some just pm me.
You should probably call whatever department is in charge of illegal species, I'm finding that there's more and more legislature in the works with states to make these illegal or require permits.
Not surprising considering the nature of their reproduction. I hope it doesn't become an issue where we can't keep them at all. I can understand warmer states like Nevada but Oregon was a bit of a surprise, but then again I don't know how cold their winters get. I don't think they could survive winters in my area.black_sun;2914864; said:

They survive winters in Germany (there's stable populations of them there in the wild. Invasive, of course), which can reach the negatives in some areas. Granted, where they are reported it's a little more mild than "the negatives", but still, Germany ain't all that warm in the winter lol.
I think eventually there's going to be an issue with owning them, too many sites recommend and promote using them as live bait or give misinformation about the conditions they can survive in. Then people don't feel inclined to worry about them if they get off they hook or they decide to dump their pets. I mean, granted this species if fairly passive and can be overtaken by a number of natives, but there aren't stable invasive populations in Germany and Madagascar just because these things can't survive, you know?
Who knows, we'll see what happens in the years to come.
If they can survive Germany winters then they can survive your winters.Danger_Chicken;2915836; said:
I agree. I was under the impression they couldn't handle the cold weather. Now I'm going to go hide mine...I mean I don't have any, nothing to see here, keep moving.MN_Rebel;2916402; said:
