Question: are curly tail lizards native to florida?
Answer: Popular in the pet trade, the curly tail lizard is native to the Bahamas, and was introduced to Florida in the 1940's to combat sugar cane pests. Curly tails are sturdy, robust-looking lizards that sometimes grow to a length of 28 cms (11 inches). Their curled tail which is held up in the air easily identifies them.
