I just saw an article posted by Air Force Airguns talking about Iguana Hunting in the FL area by an outfit called Tropical Trophies.

I sent them an email asking about their program and ak checking to see if they are legit.

It has renewed my interest in this project.

Curious about snakehead fish what with the above posts.

Found this link: https://www.fws.gov/story/snakehead-dilemma

One more unwelcome guest in the environment.

Larry,
Those snakeheads were illegally introduced about 20 years ago up in Maryland and spread rapidly.

The only benefit is that they are good eating and the season is year round,no limit.

The Iguanas have caused millions of dallars worth of damage down in FL. No license needed and no bag limits. They too,are good eating but not for me.

Wayne--

Spend half the year, often more in Florida.

Lots of invasives down here.

They are finding Burmese pythons as far north as Jacksonville, and over to the panhandle.

I have been told there are cobras in the Everglades, but that was one person's report who said he had seen one.

We see Customs intercept all kinds of animals and plants people try to sneak in, and they certainly don't catch everything.

And there are those who want to "send" things here to do harm.

I saw a hognose snake exactly once, as a kid in Oklahoma.

When I walked toward him, he flared up like a cobra.

While I think I have a pretty good handle on identifying snakes, I wasn't about to put my life on the line to find out.

Larry,
Yep,there are cobras in FL as well as black mombas and a host of other nasties.

Some years ago,during a severe hurricane a tropical snake facility was damaged and the snakes got out into the environment and the rest is history.
