My mom just sent me these pics from her back yard in Pace. What the.... And we thought an Armadillo was digging up their yard.

Teach him to go through the doggie door Justin. Or, better yet, take him to work and give him to my wife. She'll only scream for a second. Give her time, she'll eventually babytalk it and turn it into a pet.

They are an invasive species, turned loose or got out, used in the pet trade. Fl is beginning to ban their sale, they destroy alot of native animals. Miami has an epidemic of another variety. Kill or catch and turn over to FWC, I guess.

It is way out off chumuckla. Not many houses. Defiantly an escaped/abandoned pet. Do I dispatch it will some Mathews solo cam?

Story heard second hand, but if you call FWC, they will tell you to kill it on sight.

Call the Turtleman!!!!!!

My only question is how to prepare it?
BBQ or fried.

I Want it!

If you capture, ive got a huge pen outdoors i can keep him in

 

[helo_hunter]

Great diggers - so the pen needs a floor. Invasive species - better to kill and deep fat fry.

My 11 year old says it's an Argus or Asian Water Monitor, he's a reptile guru of sorts
