The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department does not give an estimated population for raccoons. They do say that even though bobcats and coyotes prey on them for food, that the number of raccoons in Texas is not in decline.

On the list of Illegal pets in Arizona it doesn't mention anything about Raccoons.

So i guess it is. But if you really wanna know you should probably write an email to someone who is 100 percent sure about it.

Good luck.

Raccoons are not permitted in Texas as pets. They are a quarantine animal as potential rabies vectors and cannot be held by individuals without special permits which are virtually impossible to obtain. Raccoons do not make good pets anyway. I have raised a number of orphaned babies for release back to the wild and would never recommend them as pets.

No, raccoons are not allowed as pets in Texas without a permit which is difficult for anyone but a wildlife caretaker to obtain.

What wiled animals can you keep as pets?

first of all, its spelled wild. second, there are plenty of wild animals that you can have as pets. some of them are banned in certain states, and legal in others. for example, you may not be allowed to keep a raccoon in texas, but it might be legal in idaho. almost any wild animal can be kept as a pet, but you have to have a license, and to get a license you have to be at least 21 years of age. personally, i dont encourage keeping wild animals captive. its cruel and not in their nature. it can also be dangerous to the owner. hope this helps!

Is it illegal to trap raccoons in Florida?

Florida is one of three states where raccoon trapping is legal (Alabama and Wisconsin being the others). In law 3.1.16 of the floridian constitution, one is allowed to trap raccoons for recreative, sexual or nutrition purposes. An amendment made to this law in 2001, states that once one is done with said raccoon, he/she must dispose of it in a certain way.
