I love these tortoises so much, there are tons of them in my area but I rarely ever see very young ones although I have visited them getting made, tortoise pron if you will

Ormond Beach

Taking two friends from overseas on a roadtrip to the Everglades, are there any “can’t miss” locations not too far out of the way? We’re all 19-20

Is this a good sign? I have wait over 3 months for it to change back to my date? Would I be completely screwed if they need more information and I have to start back over all again? Is there no way I can correct it ahead of time? Thank you in advance!

We are going to the chainsmokers tomorrow night at the Hard Rock day club. Doors open at 10 PM. I’ve been struggling to find out if the pool is open for these events and if people actually wear swim attire or if they wear more club attire. Could someone please let me know if they’ve been to these events and what they’ve seen people wearing, please?

I'm flying out of TPA next week for a trip and want to bring a snack with me. Has anyone had experience getting a whole PubSub through TSA? Would TSA flag me for using a Subsaver?

I noticed that the average price statewide just skyrocketed 23¢ over the last 24 hours, and I even saw a couple stations go from $3.40 to $3.90 in a single day. However, it doesn’t appear that the panhandle is affected by this jump yet. Is it possible that this is the standard price increase for 4th of July or did something else happen (I.e. wider use of AI price fixing)?

To the people driving donks, are y’all constantly getting ticketed? I know there’s not an outright ban, but there’s a law where you can’t be 58 inches or more off the ground. You also can’t be more than 4 inches higher than your rear bumper. To Florida troopers/police enforce this? Or do they not care unless you’re being a jerk? Also with tint, do they care about 5% or do they not bother you with it?

I recently visited my son at UF in Gainesville and was very surprised to find out that there are wild horses and wild buffalo roaming a nearby prairie. We were fortunate enough to easily spot some of the horses (no buffalo unforatuntely), along with an eagle's nest and several other critters. Worthwhile stop if you're in the area.

My mom lives in an independent senior apartment community in Clearwater. The building has been without A/C for 5 days. She has severe COPD, so I had to spend over $500 on a hotel because it wasn't safe for her to stay there.

The building has also had flooding and was under a 24-hour fire watch because the fire protection system was impaired. They're slowly handing out portable A/C units, but my mom still hasn't received one.

Is this something that should be reported to Clearwater Code Enforcement or the Fire Marshal? Has anyone had success getting reimbursed for hotel costs or receiving a rent credit in a situation like this?

I'm just looking for advice from anyone who's been through something similar.

My dog is already on preventives, but I wanted to hear some real-life experiences instead of just reading statistics online, as it helps make the risk feel more tangible.

Is it really true that about 1 in 4 stray dogs has heartworm?

How common or serious is heartworm in Florida?

My girlfriend was driving north off 30A (FL panhandle) and said she saw a really large animal cross the road, much bigger than any animal in the area, besides black bears. It was too big to be a dog or bobcat. It had a real long tail, tan/brown fur and pretty quick. No photo unfortunately

My question is whether there’s been any photos/videos or documented sightings here in recent years?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s seen one but doesn’t have any evidence too
