Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

The last time we went there the sons of one of the residents tried to fight me and my friends (redneck trash people) then they called the police. The police came and thankfully let us go because we had one small chameleon in our possession. fwc.com list the species of established reptiles and they used to give you pretty exact coordinates of established populations, don't know if they still do, but that was how I found this place- I googled the coordinates from the website.
I would like to start a different thread in the future and share some good spots in south Florida.
Also someone is selling tegus on the classified section, I know where they are exactly in homestead, behind Robert is Here tourist attraction, close to everglades national park I have a co worker who lives in that neighborhood and has accidentally ran over several of them on that road. You need traps to catch them...
I also will sell puertorican anoles from time to time, I catch those specifically in greynolds park in north Miami beach west of Biscayne Blvd , you guys should go if your in Miami good stuff there. Stripped basilisk, iguanas, all kinds anoles.

Ay next time I'm in Miami I'll be your body guard.

I don't know about chams, but I get a kick out of chasing iguanas around in various city parks when I visit Florida. There is lots of public green space in most cities.

I did not find anything else in the entire neighborhood. It's more like a colony
This goes the same for other species for example curly tail Lizards, I know a Taco Bell of all places, behind the Taco Bell under a tangle wood tree there is a colony, you go a block away and there's nothing. They are not native animals and when they say they are established it doesn't mean they are reproducing in mass numbers on a 200 sq mile radius. They will be found on small locales.
Check the FWC.com website- another good example is the giant day geckos,, some people let them go on some of the keys islands and they are reproducing but have not extended their range.
Also Amelia Earhart park in Miami, this place only has spiny tail iguanas, outside the park there are none, inside the park they are full of them. I haven't spitted another area in Miami that has spiny tail iguanas, yet they are considered established.
I know there is another small locale of veiled in homestead also, there is a farmers market there were they have a "pet shop" selling wild caught chameleons that were caught close to that area.
There is a Savealot supermarket #329, only in that parking lot you will find red head agamas.
Tim, herping for non natives is like a searching needle in a haystack and unless you stumble across them or know exactly where they are you will never find them and unfortunately a lot of these releases where done on purpose for financial gain so they are kept secret. It's stupid because we all loose when we loose our native wild life to pet trade reptiles, even though I love all reptiles it's a total loss.

Hey, is the homestead population still active? If so, can you tell me the locations?I’m on the east coast and would love to check it out. Any Cham spots on the east coast would be cool, really.
Thanks
