 Pet roaches?

since hissing roaches are illegal as pets in florida what other type of roach is a good pet? I looked at lobster roaches and like them, but my mom hates bugs. i was wondering if anyone knows of a cute cockroach (not the ones with the gross looking wings like a deaths head) any suggestions?

It’s too bad hissing roaches are illegal where you are...why? My friend’s older brother is a freaky mad-science brainiac (lol) and he had 2 roaches as a part of his "collection" of mantisis and other things, and I loved those guys! They died about 6 months ago, but he had them for a long time and they loved being handled, and we played with them all the time!!
Well good luck,

they’re illegal because irresponsible owners let their pets go and hissers can thrive in the heat and humidity down here. When i found out i was crushed. An entomologist at the florida universaty of entomology and nematogloly said i think death’s head roaches or discoid roaches (something like that) were legal because they can be found naturally in miami or something like that. i went to websites that sell roaches just to seee what they have and i’ve found some cool ones.
