'Schlangen & Stuff:' Florida man, who was quoted for prohibited reptile injuries after Boa found before the seat

The Florida Fish and Wildfire Commission accused a man from Merritt Iceland because of 20 offenses after a snake cover led to exotic animals in his possession.

On February 27, Brevard County's MPs responded to a complaint about illegal dumping along the river banks on the Sykes Creek. On arrival, they found Daniel Dinovi (46), who actively unloaded court waste from a large open top trailer into the waterway.

According to a social media post from the Brevard County's office, Dinovi informed the MPs that the debris, who estimated to weigh half a ton, came from a recent job. When Dinovi said that the dumping along the waterway was illegal, it decided to cooperate with the MPs. As a result, the MPs took him into custody.

During the vehicle inventory, the MPs discovered an unexpected passenger -Dinovi's pet, a youthful rainbow -boa constrictor who lazed at the passenger seat.

The Brevard County Animal Services Unit answered and took custody for the snake. In the meantime, the Brevard County Road & Bridge team arrived with a dump truck and equipment to remove the rubble and ensure proper disposal.

On March 14, FWC quoted with 20 offenses in connection with banned species, including possessions, beetles and improper violations of the sanitary violations after a tip from the Brevard County Dinovi.

FWC officers and MPs discovered several non-regulated reptiles and four prohibited species in Dinovi's possession, including two Burmanic pythons, a Nilmonitor and a black and white tegu. While the non -regulated reptiles were left in place, the forbidden species were laid in licensed facilities.

“The FWC promotes the property of responsible property in captivity,” said Maj. John Wilke, FWC Captive Wildlife Section Leader. “People who do not follow stated guidelines create misleading and harmful perception of reptile owners.”
