Nonnative Reptiles of the Treasure Coast with Ken Gioeli, UF/IFAS Natural Resources Extension Agent for St. Lucie County. Nonnative reptiles are becoming increasingly common on the Treasure Coast. Florida has experienced more introductions of nonnative reptile species than any other region on Earth, and there are approximately three times as many species of established, nonnative lizards in the state as there are native species. This lecture is designed to teach Florida residents and visitors about nonnative reptile biology and natural history.
