If you have an exotic pet you can’t care for anymore, please don’t open the door and set it free. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) offers a better solution for you.
To help keep unwanted exotic pets out of Florida’s native ecosystems, the FWC and Gulfarium Marine Advneture Park will host an Exotic Pet Amnesty Day Oct. 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Exotic reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and mammals will be accepted; domestic pets (dogs, cats, rabbits) will not be accepted.
See a wide variety of exotic and native animals! Learn more about exotic pets and their impact on Florida's native ecosystems. Bring the kids and enjoy crafts, games, and other surprises! Event is free to the public (admittance to Gulfarium Marine Adventure park not included).
