Georgia officials tracking invasive tegus that can grow 4 feet long

A large invasive lizard native to South America has established a wild population in southeast Georgia , and state wildlife officials are asking residents to report sightings as they work to keep the reptiles from spreading. The Argentine black and white tegu can grow up to 4 feet long and weigh 10 pounds or more, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. DNR says Georgia's only known wild population is in Toombs and Tattnall counties. The agency has been investigating reports of the reptiles in the area since 2018. Although tegus are occasionally reported in other parts of Georgia, DNR says those sightings generally involve escaped or released pets rather than additional established wild populations. Where have invasive tegus been found in Georgia? The only known wild population of Argentine black and white tegus in Georgia is in Toombs and Tattnall counties, according to DNR. The agency began investigating reports in eastern Toombs County and western Tattnall County in 2018. DNR is working with the public and other partners to track sightings, trap the reptiles and assess the population. The University of Georgia's Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health maintains a map of reported Argentine black and white

The South Carolina Department of Agriculture (SCDA) has released its October food inspection reports. Two restaurants, two schools and a Parker’s scored less than A. Inspectors from the SCDA inspect restaurants and other food-serving establishments across the state on a routine basis.

Grades are awarded on a 100-point scale, with A grades above 87 points, B 78 points, and C less than 78 points. Repeat infractions can result in lower letter grades no matter the points. Here’s why these Beaufort County establishments received their grades, and if their violations were corrected: E-Tang Asian Bistro Inspectors awarded E-Tang Asian Bistro, located at 811 William Hilton Parkway on Hilton Head Island, a C grade with 75 points in its Oct.15 routine inspection.
