The high sandy areas your talking about are not found in south Florida. That's where most of the exotic non native species are found. I have seen a lot of "pets" that had escaped and been captured. That usually happeneds in the city and those animals did not look like they were happy. I have never been in cal kings natural habitat but I don't see how they would survive well enough to establish a population down here. . I dought that many get released anyway. More likely it would be the occasional accidental escape. Most of the human population doesn't live by the Everglades and the other side is the bay. They would have to escape or be released on the western or southern part of town to have any chance of ending up in the wild. Maybe in a city park like the B.c.i in Deering Estates. They are holding their own just fine but the habitat and climate are right for the species.
