I’m starting to think it is the same darn frog that loves messing with my car. 🤣 I can’t wait to get a big shed so I can take all the stuff out of the garage and park in there. ---

Get a big rubber snake, put it in the path the frog takes and see if that helps. ---

> [@George\_San\_Jose1](#): > > I wonder if a bear could be tamed into a pet, like a dog, lives in the house, lays on the carpet as family watches tv? It’s possible with a lion! I know of one that lived peacefully in a home. Not sure about the catbox aspect of it though. Eventually it ended when someone died from a heart attack from seeing the lion jump up peacefully on a friend. ---

Ha ha. Maybe. A few years ago we rented a house in Florida. The owner had a pool in back with a great likeness of an alligator by the pool. The first morning I woke up and looked out the sliding door and went oh my gosh there’s an alligator by the pool. Further investigation revealed my error. ---

Possible I suppose, as a cheap check maybe some of this in front of the breaker box.

Thanks for the heartwarming pet-bear vdo. I wish I could pet that bear myself, feed him a snack (hopefully not my arm) once in a while 🙂 The bear and family dog seem to get along well too. I wonder if they have any dog/bear jealousy problems? ---

Could you sprinkle table salt on the areas around the wipers without causing damage to the car? ---

NO! Salt promotes rust. Florida already has salt in the air in many areas. Cuban tree frogs are everywhere, they have even found their way into my house. They ignore my car, though I had one hitch a ride on my truck. ---

I don’t know what those are but every once in a while we’ll have a tree frog on our sliding glass door at night. Just hanging there waiting for lunch to come by. Then one hopped in the house. Had trouble catching him and then he disappeared. Found him hanging underneath a piece of furniture. Suction cups for hands. ---

The Cuban tree frog is an invasive species that shows up mostly in Florida in the US. Florida has a number of invasive species. The most famous is probably the Burmese python. They are so prevalent and dangerous to native wildlife, that people can make a living capturing and killing Burmese pythons. ---

The Cuban tree frogs ate our native green tree frogs. Cuban anoles have pretty much wiped out our native green anoles-Anolis carolinensis. Though the Cubans may have bred with the green. Florida is loaded with invasive flora and fauna. Some deliberate, (Brazilian Pepper tree), some escaped, some released. ---

If you subscribe to any of the Gannett newspapers you should be able to click on ‘Florida Today’ large article on that snake, plus an accompanying article on invasive flora and fauna in Florida. Perhaps the introduced wild monkeys at Silver Springs will learn to drive, making our comments car related😀 ---
