I suggest you read it, it's pretty well clear for once, no government double-talk.
It only refers to the giants and to Nile monitors.
I think it's a good idea.
I'm in florida too, and I think there is nothing wrong with it, but thought it would be good to put the information out. Better to let people know early, than have them get fines.
I don't own giants, nor nile monitors.
I DO have a emergency plan. I have a LOT of pets, and have a plan for packing all of them up efficiently and getting them packed into my truck and safely evacuated.. except the rats. They have me temporarily stymied.
Any suggestions on how to evacuate around 100 live rats, in containers that they can be secure in, that have sufficent ventalation.. that won't take a u-haul to move... would be appriciated.
My currant idea is to use the rubbermaid bins with wire inserts in the lids. They'd be crowded.. but better crowded than starved/dying of thirst. I have a few bins already done, and other than needing to drill holes in the edges for wingnuts to secure the lids, they would serve. Not perfect.. but best I've come up with.
The snakes each have a bag, and each snake's i.d. card goes into a ziploc bag and it gets dropped into the bag with the snake. Several snakes into each bin in their bags. The bins can easily be stacked into my truck. Water dishes get stacked into a box, I already have gallon jugs of water to take for the dogs and cats and everything.
Now I have tegus and the monitor, who will get treated similar to the snakes. Multiple bins stacked together for when we get wherever we are going to stop. It's as ideal a evacuation plan as I've thought up, and I have the materials ready.
To my mind, it's part of having pets. Hurricane season means you think of those pets in addition to yourself.
