i must be going to the wrong places when down there all i ever find is tree frogs, snails, 2 geckos, and crap loads of anoles. well do see tons of gators but never tried to catch any and and saw a scarlet king in a pool at the resort we were at but everybody on staff wouldn't let anybody go out there cause they said it was a coral snake but its pattern was red touching black

any hints to some good places when we go down there again we are usually in the Miami area was thinking of the big open lot across the street from the resort but they had warning signs for rattle snakes up all over it

did try herping on one of the keys not sure of name it's been years ago but it had camp grounds on it saw a huge gecko not sure of type it was high on the wall in the showers and only came out late at night but did catch a skink when we rolled up our tent it was under the tent so went home with close to 50 anoles couple different
