This week an Orlando man was arrested for smuggling cockroaches into Florida. What was he thinking?
Apparently, bugs are a big business, and officers said he had them illegally shipped into Orlando from California....Local reptile experts said the roaches are a good food source for lizards. They have more meat and more nutrients than crickets. They're also quieter and easier to handle, and once you have some good breeding roaches, you won't have to buy more.
Right. That's why we encourage lizards here, and don't even mind when they come indoors. But breeding roaches? On purpose? <shudder>.
