After analyzing costs, we have made the tough decision to begin shutting down our rescue. The rising costs have made it unmanageable.
We will be rehoming a lot of animals once the permit is renewed with the FWC. We are very picky in who our animals go to and expect them to be pets. Most have already had a rough time in life, they don't need more hardship from breeding.
Update: This will take a while. At November's ReptiCon we found new, loving homes for 10 animals.

*Note that other plans for resorts and pickleball courts in state parks have not been rescinded.

"The group behind a plan to build golf courses in Florida's Jonathan Dickinson State Park is withdrawing its proposal, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection said in a release Sunday.

In a statement, the agency said the Tuskegee Dunes Foundation had submitted a "good-faith proposal" to build a course at the park."

"The proposals for new developments, including lodging, glamping sites, golf courses, and pickleball courts across several Florida State Parks faced criticism from environmentalists and bipartisan lawmakers.

Under the proposed concepts:

Anastasia State Park (St. Johns County) would see a 350-room lodge constructed.

Camp Helen State Park (Bay County) would see 10 cabins constructed for lodging and “glamping.”

Grayton Beach State Park (Walton County) would see an additional 10 cabins constructed plus a beach-access restroom

Hillsborough River State Park (Hillsborough County) would see 4 new pickleball courts and a disc golf course

Honeymoon Island State Park (Pinellas County) would see 4 new pickleball courts.

Jonathan Dickinson State Park (Martin County) would see a public golf course

Oleta River State Park (Miami-Dade County) would see construction of new cabins, pickleball courts and disc golf courses.

Topsail Hill Preserve State Park (Walton County) would see construction of a 350 room lodge, pickleball courts and a disc golf course.

Dr. Von Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park (Broward County) would see 4 new pickleball courts.

Public meetings are expected for the week of Sept. 2, 2024."

If you cut/transplant this one: Devil's Ivy (Epipremnum aureum) - it'll be around for decades. I've had mine since 1995.

When you invest in a new houseplant, you likely expect it to last years. However, not all plants are alike. These are the ones that live abnormally long lives.
