have a pet python or an iguana that?s outgrown its cage or some other exotic animal you no longer want or can handle?
Don?t let them loose to harm the South Florida environment. instead, give them up to state wildlife officers, no questions asked.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and Zoo Miami (formerly Miami MetroZoo) have partnered once again for Exotic Pet Amnesty Day, taking place March 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the zoo, 12400 SW 152 St., Miami.
Exotic Pet Amnesty Day was created to encourage owners to turn in their exotic pets without cost or penalty and discourage the release of nonnative species into the wild. The Nonnative Pet Amnesty Program is an effort to reduce the number of nonnative species released into the wild by pet owners who can no longer care for their pets or no longer wish to keep them.
One-day-only amnesty events are held around the state each year to allow people to surrender their nonnative pets free of charge with no penalties. every attempt will be made to place all healthy animals with qualified adopters.
More than 400 nonnative species have been observed in Florida, and more than 130 have reproducing populations. Pythons are among the worst, said by scientists to have decimated the mammal population in the Everglades the past 10 years.
To find out more about Exotic Pet Amnesty Day, call Zoo Miami at (305) 251-0400.
