I've been lucky moving from my native ohio to SE Florida. I've only come into contact with the iguana's that seem to like to crawl into the boat to sun and those damn little gecko looking things. They keep the dogs entertained though.
I cannot get over the godamn palmetto bugs (pleasant term for cock roach)down here. At least once a week one of those creepy fukers are belly up on the floor.
I'd take those over a rattle snake anyday though!
I do love the amount of um uh... I forget what they're called... refer to post 26.
Even though i am/was one, i agree about the damn ohioians. The fiance has a friend down here now and wont freaking leave. I even stopped feeding her beer!
