Feral reptiles in Florida; possible hunting opprotunity.......

Tinker, I think they ought to restrict ownership of all the Exotics, including plants that are being sold down here. I was at a Flea Market a few weekends ago and you could buy Hissing roaches, Black Scorpians, Tarantulas, Boas, Pythons, Monitor lizards, Iguanas, and assorted Tropical birds. Right now, I think you just have to have a $150 permit. And you shouldn't be able to buy that stuff at the Flea Market or Yard sale.

I worked with a guy up here that had two columbian red tails. One was 7 feet and the other was twelve feet long. It had its own room. Then he got one of the mainland monitors and had to have someone build a 10 X 6 cage about 4 feet tall just to keep it in while he was asleep. He said they get up to 9 feet long. How would you like to wake up with one of those chewing on one of your body parts.
The tinker:
I have been in the swamps and wilderness alot here in fl.
There are critters out there that I cant explane. Some of them are scary and I dont scare easy.
I just hope some clowns dont bring cobras and reptiles like that here as we are in sub Trickable climate.
Any way Year round we can shoot cows, armadillos, and all kinds of critters. Have fun. Tinker.

I wish they would make these Exotics illegal in Florida. It seems like every dumb A$$ redneck has to buy one at the Flea Market and when it gets big dump it in the woods.

Dang, thats really sad. Buying those animals should be illegal and if they aren't they shouldn't be sold at fle markets.
