I saw that video on YouTube. It looks very interesting to go helping in Florida.

-Armed with a flashlight on a backroad in Florida, Hillary Dupont-Joyce is on the hunt. Her target is a master of disguise

Stopped reading, they stick out like a sore thumb.

Should've kept reading.... It states a few sentences down that at night the stick out like a sore thumb but during the day they are hard to spot since they can hind behind branches.

Anyways, glad to see this is getting some sort of spotlight. When I lived in Florida, I would go out at night looking to catch them and pythons. Every now and then I would find one, mostly veileds, and bring it to a local zoo for them to take in since I didn't have the means to care for them back then. All I knew back then was that they were invasive and should be removed when found.

They probably are if you are in South Florida, you can probably look for them, but they are probably less common in urban areas.

Isnt there a guy out there called "onlytegus" who only sells captured Floridian tegus? It would be cool if we could find "onlychams".

There used to be a guy who sold them regularly, but I can't remember who and I haven't seen any for sale recently.

But a cool thought
