5-Foot Lizards Invading Florida

5-Foot Lizards Invading Florida

Published 3 days, 10 hours ago
Description

Five-foot-long Argentine Black and White Tegus are terrorizing Dundee, Florida—these invasive South American lizards are devouring native wildlife, including gopher tortoise eggs and alligator hatchlings. Officials call them a “high priority invasive species,” blaming irresponsible pet ownership for their spread. In Georgia, trapping or killing them is encouraged, while Florida law permits year-round humane removal on private property. If you spot one, snap a photo, note the location, and report it via FWC’s IveGot1 app or hotline—your data could help stop this ecological nightmare.
