Hey everybody, I'm brand new to this site!
I think i bring something different to the forum because i live in south Miami, and do alot of work in homestead. Im not sure if your aware of this but south florida has invasive argentine tegus breeding in suburban and farmland areas.
luckily they dont fit into the everglades very well, but they are becoming a nuisance.
I volunteer at the Everglades Outpost, an exotic animal rescue center, and mostly work with the reptiles. Over the last 2 years the amount of calls we get about tegus in peoples backyard has skyrocketed.
I love my captive bred and born tegu, as well as the ones made under the wild Florida sun.
I'm lucky enough to get to catch wild tegus and see them act as they would in the wild. Let me tell you what, you truly understand how smart tegus are when they survived using their wits, unlike our simple minded pets.
what do you guys think about our wild tegus? Good or Bad? maybe you guys would come down to watch them or try to catch them. how do you think this will affect the legality of tegus?, remember they could most likely live in agricultural/southern states besides South Florida (in my personal opinion)
