Florida's Next Invasive Species: Nile Monitor.

The number of lizards, monkeys, snakes, hogs, and parrots in Collier county isn't good. Lots of different types of lizards from Jesus lizards to iguanas to ???

We carry a pellet gun in the boat for mangrove hunting..or you can choose a guided experience

Feral cats do more damage to the environment than any invasive species.

 

Aw. I want one as a pet. Gonna post “Beware of Defense Lizard” on my front door.

I’m also super tired of solicitors ignoring the “NO SOLICITORS” signs all over my property.

I’m pretty sure a cranky Nile Monitor answering the door will provide good feedback on bothering me.

 

You forgot Mexicans, Guatemalans, Venezuelans and Haitians.

 

Especially the cat-eating Haitians. I also understand that those invaders have known to inhabit construction sites performing labor, in fields picking produce, in slaughterhouses gutting and cutting dead animals and even in homes, retail stores and commercial buildings armed with mops and buckets of liquid detergent.

 

I caught four tokay geckos in Hyde Park. They are nasty, and they bark at night.

 

I don't guess those things couldn't handle the cold up here in the Micanopy area where I live. I wonder if the Coyotes would eat them? I would be using S&W Wesson on them not grabbing them. It looked like those dogs knew what end of that big lizard would hurt them.

 

feral cats do in numbers, not in totally decimating an ecosystem like the pythons are or the way melaleuca can go monoculture or bambooo in hawaii taking over entire mountain sides and choking stuff out.

 

have these all around our office. called jesus lizard because they are web toed enough to run short distances over water with the aid of their tail, not what the woman from ohio says first time one runs across her lanaii.

 

Damn JMD, now I have to go out and buy a 410. Thank you!

 

Every chestnut tree east of the Mississippi is gone (save about 20) except for the roots from a blight introduced from east Asia. It has killed up to 4 billion trees.
Billions of pine trees are dead from Pine bark beetles. Go to GSMNP and much of the view from Klingman’s dome is dead trees.
And in the Everglades over 90 percent of most mammals are gone from pythons.
So if cats were our worst problem I’d be happy, even if they are killing a lot of birds.

 

nope, the economy would grind to a screeching halt without them. we're talking about things that are bad for the ecosystem..now if you want to talk about cubans and how they will kill anything that swims when they're fishing, that's a different discussion

 

totally forgot about the pine beetle and the chestnuts. they have a blight resistant chestnut and are doing a reforestation plan
