Trapper Nelson
Trapper Nelson arrived in the little village of Jupiter on the southeast coast of Florida in 1931. Not long after arriving in Jupiter, he went up the Loxahatchee River, which runs through Jupiter, and settled at its headwaters. He sold live animals to zoos, the fur from the mammals, and the skins from the alligators and snakes. As time went on he sold live alligators to alligator farms and poisonous snakes to medical enterprises experimenting with venom and he began buying the land around him.
Though he didn’t have a lot of money, the land was very cheap in pre-development Jupiter because it wasn’t useful for anything. He built a cabin from felled trees, dug a pit to hold the alligators, another for the snakes, and set up cages for the other animals, many of which, like the black panthers, were exotic. People, hearing about this wild man and his “zoo”, began to come up the river to see for themselves. Sensing another source of revenue, he coined the name “Trapper’s Zoo and Jungle Gardens”.
He charged for boats to dock for the day and a fee for using the pavilions. A “Jungle Cruise” boat regularly carried tourists there from West Palm Beach. He charged them admission. He cut in a sand roadway so people could come by car and charged admission. The cars created a bit of a problem because some people considered it good sport to run over snakes. Since snakes were a reliable source of revenue for him, he wanted to protect them. So he put up a sign at the entrance. We don't know the exact words, but they were something like: "Attention Don’t Run Over The Snakes"
