Florida Class I Wildlife Exhibitioner & Public Sale Surety Bond

The State of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission regulates the licensing of Class I, II, and III Wildlife and Wildlife for Exhibition or Public Sale Licenses. The licensing process allows for possession, exhibition and/or public sale of Class I wildlife after being able to demonstrate substantial practical experience, which includes care, feeding, handling and breeding of species within the same biological sub-order. Further details can be found on FL Rule 68A-6.002, 68A-6.0021, and 68A-6.0022, 68A-6.0024 Administrative Code.
