Python Snake Hunting in the Florida Everglades: Exotic Pet Amnesty ...

As part of my involvement with the Florida Fish & Wildlife Python removal programs, I am excited to announce that I will be displaying my adult Albino Green Burmese Python along with a baby Burmese Python at the upcoming Exotic Pet Amnesty Day in Davie, Fl to help educate people on the rapid and large growth these snakes can have, but to also show how when raised correctly these gentle giants are great pets. Stop out and see and learn about exotic animals, then come over and see my girl, Bee!

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is partnering with Everglades Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (ECISMA) and Broward County Parks and Recreation to host the first ever Exotic Pet Amnesty Day in Broward County!

What: First Exotic Pet Amnesty Day in Broward County

Where: Tree Tops Park (3900 Southwest 100th Avenue, Davie, FL 33328)

An Exotic Pet Amnesty Day event provides pet owners a way to turn in exotic pets they no longer can keep - an alternative to releasing their pets into the wild. On this day, exotic pet owners can surrender their exotic animals from 10 AM - 2 PM. The surrendered animals will be looked over by a veterinarian. Beginning at 2:30 PM surrendered animals will be adopted by pre-approved adopters. This event is open to the public.
