Well you haven't probably heard what you anted to hear but in fact we have an ample supply of frogs and toads. i have a pool and even with an enclosure I can still find an occasional one I have to fish out. They are totally harmles, not that that will mean much to some one phobic.
We have several species of frogs, leopard frogs can jump like few others. I regulaly find these light skinned ones that hunker down in dark places. found one in my car washing ,it once. They hide from you but once in a while you run into them.

On a rainy night you will see many on the streets and walkays. If you live near a pond or other water source there will be tons of them. In their defense. they eat insects, including mosquitos... anything that eats those vampires has my vote.

gators are the rarity. I've seen 2 in proximity to people in 10 years.

Armadillos are the beasts looking for grubs in your yard and will leave these small piles of dirt

moles rarely seen , just their trails

citrus rats.... love those fruit trees

wild pigs I've seen some on the 528

wild turkey also seen on the 528

havent seen bears but heard of others that have North of Otown

saw a fox on Goldenrod

Just don't let one (frog) get in your house and die.

Where I used to work in Fern Park a frog died in one of our bathrooms. I forgot what part of the bathroom we found it in, but MAAAAAAAN that thing stunk to high heaven!
