Just how successful has the public hype over the Nile monitors become ?The people that talk about it most don`t live here. Far and away most people that do don`t give a crap about any lizards .Cape Coral is supposedly the heart of this invasion. I lived and owned a business there and have never met anyone who was afraid of giant lizard s . Young or old. In fact it`s a topic that `s not even talked about. Nobody cares.

If protective legislation is ever passed it won`t be triggered by some legal backlash due to the publics fear and outrage as they storm city hall demanding protection it will simply be another case of the political pen devils letting the few speak for the many supported by the press to serve their own motives.The majority won`t care one way or the other .To 99% of the people that live here it`s a complete non issue.They won`t even know about some anti lizard law until the next day in the papers when the page 9 headline reads something like ......We`ve Been Saved ! and shows a picture of a dead Nile pulled out of some freezer .

Ps the next monitor species to invade Florida ............Ackie`s
