You folks should really come on down to Southwest Florida. We got critters.
A few years ago there was an old lady who kept complaining about a monster under her house. Small pets were dissapearing and stuff. Long story short a half dozen firemen and sheriff deputies finally wrestled a 22 foot boa constrictor out of her crawl space.
We have a plague of Nile Monitors across the river in Cape Coral. These are 6 foot lizards that are a lot more aggreessive than alligators ... but we have plenty of them too. My wife had a run in with a little 3' nile monitor in one of her new homes. She ran him off with a broom.
Possums and raccoons seem to like living behind the tub skirts so that is something they have to check before they close up the house but she has kicked up a wild hog doing it.
