    No no no! I want them out of FL!
    NY has rats already, theyd be way more comfy up there....
    FL already has gators and flying cockroaches...
    Cant we catch a break please?!

    Whats funny is, a few months back, there were huge headlines of "Massive snails taking over SoFla"
    and I ignored the headline and never paid attention, because at the moment, we had a city wide art exhibit...
    Huge pink sail statues were decorated by artists and set up all around the city...a lot like our flamingo art exhibit, and our rooster art exhibit before that (all I think inspired by the cow art exhibit out of Switzerland i believe)

    Well, no..awhile later, I find out they were talking about honest to goodness living huge ass snails...They did just finally get the snail population taken care of...and now cat sized rats? What next?!! *tears!*

    Maybe the cat sized rats can take care of the rat sized spiders after those eat the spider sized mosquitoes.

    People have them as pets.

    I've owned rats for years, very friendly creatures. The wild ones, not so much. I definitely wouldn't want wild rats or African Gambian Pouched Rats running in my area, they can carry disease. But the domesticated rats and gambian rats make quite friendly and intelligent pets.

    OMG, ew. I'm not going to lie; Florida scares me. A lot of crime, crocodiles (or is it alligators, I forget??), snake in toilet, bugs. I could go on, lol.

    WTF?? Ew, ew. I would pass out if I saw a cat sized rat eating a rat sized spider.

    It's a good thing I have absolutely no desire to visit NY, because I'm definitely not going there now.

    LoL!! Actually, the crime rate isnt all that high around here. FL is mostly made up of podunk towns and the everglades

    When in doubt just remember...Go GATORS! (not go crocks...those are the funny shoes tourists wear with socks )

    Seriously though, we dont really come across anything in developed areas. I cant remember the last time I saw a snake, or a big bug or anything like that, except for in an exhibit at the zoo. Ive lived here almost 10y, and still have yet to visit the everglades, even though its about a 20min drive west. Cause I dont want to see all that stuff either!

    Kiddo (who is on the green team at school, and very environmentally conscious) always gets upset when I start talking about wiping out the everglades, and putting up more malls and parking lots. But yeah....we're mostly beaches, disney world, busch gardends, universal studios....and the everglades, which everyone should stay out of. Seriously. Oh and tourists.

    You'd know better than me. I've only been to Florida once like 12 years ago to visit ago. I don't watch the news anymore, but when I watched it regularly a few years ago, it seemed like a lot of kidnaps and murders happened in Florida.

    Anyways, maybe I'm not giving Florida enough credit. I'm sure there are areas without snakes and bugs - like where you live. I know there's a lot of cool places there. I love Disneyland. I've always wanted to audition for Snow White, lol.

    LOL!!

    I'll never go to the everglades - I'm deathly afraid of alligators/crocodiles. It's crazy you only live a few minutes away and have never seen a snake or a huge bug. I thought the everglades were known for their ... creatures.

    Yeah, the only creatures I have to defend myself against are in the clubs trying to buy me a drink

    It is wild though to think all of that is so close to me...actually, its a well known thing, any body of water, pond, river, creek, whatever...has gators in it. Youd think with all the canals all over the place, youd see these gators constantly, but we dont..they stay in the water and even if someone is close or or around there, they scurry away. Like maybe once a year or so, youll see on the news that animal control had to be called cause a gator was sitting on the edge of a canal behind someones yard, and hasnt moved when people came close...when they reach that point where they are no longer afraid of people...they are taken away immediately....And thats where we get our gator burgers from Oh I dont know what they do with them. But I do reckon our gator burgers come from somewhere lol Look at me talk, Ive never even had one.

    Whoops, my bad. My brain isn't working tonight, lol.

    I had no idea that gators try to stay away from people. I always thought they were man-eating creatures who randomly show up in Florida kitchens. They still freak me out and I would never go to a swamp or lake, and especially not the everglades. I'm not as freaked out about them as I was, but I still wouldn't go anywhere near one, lol.

    You and me both!

    Theres a freeway that connects the west and gulf coasts, and it goes right through the everglades. Its two lane, no lights, about an 1.5hr drive with no stops or anything. Plus to make things even more fantastic....theres no cell phone service in the middle 45m of the drive. Talk about gator country!!! I once drove it, and the car ahead of me came to a sudden stop, then slowly drove around the car in front of it...then when I drove around the car...all I could see was blood. OMG the blood! That car had hit an alligator that was crossing the road. I freaked the ef out! lol! Neverminding the vultures *everywhere* I swear thats just the most horrid strip of road in all of florida...I refuse to drive on it. Never again! LoL

    But yeah, they dont attack like in horror movies...I mean if they feel threatened, or if youre on their turf (like..just be smart, dont go piddling around in the water next to them) then you should be okay. But yeah, once they arent scared of people, they are more likely to be aggressive, thats why if one is just sitting there, they have to be removed. I remember as a kid, jumping into lakes and stuff with my friends...no fear. Nowadays, I cant even drive by a canal in my car without thinking "there be gators in thare"

    Oh and no worries, lots of people mix up the two Disneys LoL! Ive been to both...I like the FL one more, but I guess cause its my *home base*..plus we have the big golf ball (Epcot) which is super cool. And of course Disney golf courses and water parks.. Im not sure the CA one has those.

    holy FUCK. This is like my nightmare come true. Well, actually walking inside my apartment to find thousands of these cat sized rats STACKED to the ceiling, squirming and screeching, and jumping on my face in their rabid stench....would be my most unideal situation.

    The only time I've seen a Capybara was on an episode of TLC's My Crazy Obsession.

    (And I didn't realize it was rodent until the woman on the episode who owned one said it was.)
