I live here, and I've found three- one under a brush pile in my front yard which started my obsession. One at the gun range, out hunting after a light rain. And one hit on the road (late afternoon, hot and sunny) near my house which I had to euthanize. So three in 16 years, but if you listen to my neighbors, they are tripping over them right and left...
Good luck!
Hey- make sure you stop by Reptile World Serpentarium while you're here. Gatorland is also fun. St. Augustine Alligator Farm has ALL living species of alligators and crocodiles there, as well as other herps. There's another reptile zoo in Deland.
OMG- I almost forgot! National Reptile Breeders Association show is in Daytona this weekend. Saturday is the best day to see stuff; Sunday is the best day for deals.
