Locals chimed in, joking that palmetto bugs are practically the state bird. Would you expect a refund for running into a common critter, or is this just part of the Florida experience?

Tamara Jones+FollowFlorida’s wild iguana hunts: Would you dive in?People in South Florida are literally diving headfirst into canals to catch invasive green iguanas—by hand! Led by Mike Kimmel, aka the Python Cowboy, these hunts are part adventure, part environmental mission. Iguanas have become a real headache here, wrecking yards, burrowing into canal banks, and even threatening flood control systems. The state lets folks remove them year-round, but the real challenge is keeping up with their rapid spread. Would you ever try a hands-on hunt like this, or do you think there’s a better way to protect our neighborhoods and wildlife? #Science #FloridaLife #InvasiveSpecies00Share
James Brady+FollowFlorida’s wild iguana problem just got realGreen iguanas are taking over Florida yards, munching on gardens, damaging seawalls, and even threatening local wildlife. The state just rolled out new rules making it easier for residents to catch, remove, or even sell these invasive reptiles. Some folks are getting creative—using iguana eggs in recipes or selling the lizards out of state. With the cold snap, you might spot stunned iguanas falling from trees (don’t worry, they’re not dead—just frozen!). The big question: Will these new efforts finally help Floridians reclaim their backyards? What’s your take on the best way to handle these scaly invaders? #Science #FloridaLife #InvasiveSpecies4033Share
Samantha Welch+FollowFlorida boomer cashes in, chooses freedomBarbara White’s Florida home doubled in value in just seven years, letting her trade in a big house for a vibrant, low-maintenance life in a 55+ community.

Alexander Black+FollowSleeping in your car in Florida: What’s legal?Getting some shut-eye in your car might seem harmless, but in Florida, the rules are a patchwork that can trip up even locals. There’s no statewide ban, but many cities—especially tourist hotspots like Miami and Key West—strictly prohibit it on public property. New laws now make it illegal to camp or sleep overnight in vehicles in most public spaces, unless you’re in a designated area or have permission on private land. Rest stops allow short naps, but don’t overstay. Before you park for the night, double-check local ordinances—what’s fine in one town could get you ticketed in the next. Have you ever had to sleep in your car? #Cars #FloridaLife #TravelTips367218Share
