📷 Big Announcement from Otto! 📷
Otto’s got something to say (and no, it’s not about his latest iguana chase!)… HE WROTE A CHILDREN’S BOOK! That’s right, Otto’s Special Mission in the Florida Everglades is now a real deal story, filled with adventure, conservation, and a whole lot of heart.
Otto wanted to share his mission with the world, teaching kids to love and care for the world around them. Learn about the Everglades, invasive species, and why conservation is so important.
Check it out on Amazon! 📷a.co/d/iPWfpRG And if you grab a copy, leave us a review—Otto’s always looking for feedback from his fans.
Years of removing invasive pythons from the Everglades are paying off—native wildlife is finally bouncing back. Wait until you see who took over an old python den! #PythonCowboy #Everglades #Wildlife
I walked right past this beast without noticing, but the dog had it pinpointed in seconds. Ended up bagging a solid 10-foot python with a fresh meal in its belly!
Most folks don't realize invasive parakeets are a serious issue in Florida. They build massive communal nests right on high-voltage power lines—completely ignoring the bird spikes.
Y'all thought I only had two bird dogs on the boat today, but our third retriever doesn't wear shoes and dives straight into Florida canal water. Rate that dive! #PythonCowboy #Florida
Otto stayed hot on the trail until we ran down this absolute beast of a Nile monitor deep in the Florida brush. #FloridaWildlife #InvasiveSpecies
Trouble wasted no time swimming across the canal to retrieve this absolute beast of an orange iguana off the bank. 🐶🦎
Otto locked on and swam clean across the canal to secure this invasive iguana. Hardest-working dog in Florida waters.
Trouble learned her lesson with gators! Even though this little guy is smaller than some of the iguanas she hunts, she knows to keep her distance on the boat.
That strike almost caught me right in the face! The dogs locked down this thick breeder python deep in the Glades before I was able to get hands behind her head. What an absolute beast.
Thought this beast was a python at first glance! Luckily Sammy steered clear of this massive cottonmouth before we moved him safely into the brush.
Something TERRIFYING happened deep in the Florida Everglades! What do YOU think they encountered? A Skunk Ape, a panther, or something else?
Most folks don’t realize it, but snakehead fish are actually delicious! Don’t let their looks fool you these invasive fish make for some of the best eating you’ll find in Florida waters.
