An additional $10,000 prize has been added as a grand prize for whoever captures the greatest number of pythons regardless of size. The contest has an entry fee of $25 and requires attendance at a session of training pointers in catching them.

There is an ample supply of native to Florida blue skinks here. Supposedly they only reach about 8.5" in length but I recently saw a big fat one that I estimate to be about 13 to 15" long on my porch concrete slab. That grand daddy one was so old that even though it was still mostly bright blue, part of it's back was kind of a dull rust color between the stripes. Before seeing that one giant sized one, the usual ones were skinny & no more than about 8" long. They dine on mosquitos, ants, & roaches so I've never bothered any of them. I've had chameleons in my house but no skink that I know of. I sneak up behind the chameleons & capture them using a camo handkerchief & gently put them outside. This is the only Florida house I've ever lived in that I didn't have to dispatch a snake inside. Other houses had wood floors that I had to repair due to holes I put there when eradicating snakes.
The blue/black Indigo snakes eradicate mice, rats & rattlesnakes and are protected. The last Indigo I saw in my yard was about 8 ft long but have only seen one of them on my porch in the last 50 years. The diamondback rattlesnake population here has greatly diminished in about the last 10 years maybe because the more aggressive timber rattlers have chased the diamondbacks away. The largest alligator I've seen here was right at 5 ft long. It didn't make it far since someone's vehicle ran over it.

I love seeing them in the yard and on the aptio but prefer they stay outside. They somehow get inside the basement.
