The original poster asked if it was legal to possess a retic in Florida. You need your class III license($50 per year) for exhibition/sale and then you simply alert FWC which conditioned species you want to keep. They'll send an officer out to your house/facility to inspect the premises and either grant or deny the request. Now, they aren't going to give you access to conditioned species if you just want to keep 1 animal as a pet. You need to acquire at least a sexed pair and provide some semblance of attempted reproduction for commercial purposes. Your also going to be limited to who you can sell to - only those similarly licensed will be able to buy these animals.
you're right John. The Statute I referenced is for personal pets.
