Events

Exotic Pet Amnesty Days are events held periodically around the state to provide the opportunity for people to surrender their exotic pets free of charge with no penalties. It's an effort to reduce the number of nonnative species being released into the wild by pet owners who can no longer care for their pets or no longer wish to keep them.

FWC's Winter Exotic Pet Amnesty Day is being held in the Naples Zoo parking lot on Saturday, February 29 from 10 am - 2 pm. 

Another goal of the program is to foster responsible pet ownership though outreach and education. Learn more here. 

Collier County residents get in free the first Saturday of every month! Just bring proof of residency.
