Location: LEE/1.



Very well written-I commend you. (And I'm not saying so because you said I was right). Savannah's are also loose down here. I know of a reptile dealer who has thrown unwanted thin Savannah Monitors in a trash dumpster. Some have escaped, some have died in there, and some have been rescued and medicated. Many Snow bird people with their monitors and Iguanas purposely bring them to florida and release them in the florida sunshine thinking their doing 'the right thing'. and it's not just lizards= a 18' foot retic. was recently seen downing a screaming raccoon. The Python was not rescued because no one there wanted to tackle a reptile that big and aggressive. Yes, it's a serious and growing problem. I just had a gentleman bring in a 4' female iquana tonight in good health but one could quickly see she had a hard life. Most of her dorsal spines were removed and she had distorted toes indicative of a calcium and Vitamin-D deficiency in her youth. and so it goes....



Sincerely,

Brian
