I have sent a photo by text message to the Jacksonville zoo for identification of a baby snake I found on my front porch and the are very accommodating. Call their general information number to ask to be connected with someone who might be able to help you.

Pythons have 2 litters a year with up to 50 in each litter.

Turtle based upon the plates I see.

Looks like a hoplo, it is an armored catfish, invasive, found in creeks, ponds marshes, just a guess. Check out Florida Fish and Wildlife. They have pics of most fish in FL waters. You can check for fresh water and salt water to narrow your search.

You first! 😁😁😁

Actually, if they are safe to eat, then I would give them a try. I have eaten far stranger things during my life. Most of it was pretty good once it quit howling and wiggling.
