    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello, just asking since I know we have a large invasive population of some species under this forum. and Wanted to know where I could find them?

Thanks
 
Iguanas are actually much less common here now. The big cold snap a few years back all but wiped them out. Now our new big invasive lizard is the Tegu. They are hardier and much more agressive as wild caught animals.
 
im from south florida as well, the iguana populations on my coast dropped with the snap in 2009/2010, but they are still there.

we have 2 species of ig, nile monitors, and more near me.

hialeah is still packed full of iguanas off of the canals. 8th street's canals still have them too right on the edge of the glades.
 
In addition to that, we also have a rising population of wild Tokays which are neat to see outside the captive environment. The best way to really find herps is honestly just to get outside and go for a hike. Just enjoy the nature that we have down here and you will stumble on some cool animals. Bring your camera too :)
 
To stolen heron, dont you keep a couple wild caught....fill in the blank

ANd where is near you?

And yes the tegus here are ridiclous:yesnod:, they are no pets lol.
