See ya later, alligator.
Many Floridians have had bizarre encounters with alligators — but this one might take the cake.
A Sunshine State resident took to Reddit to share their frightening experience with two creepy reptiles that came up to their home’s front door, which was all captured on the family’s Ring camera.
The footage shows two enormous alligators dilly-dallying around the home’s front porch.
When one of the alligators saw that no one was coming to the door to welcome them into their home, they lingered a little bit longer before growing impatient.
The video then showed one of the reptiles standing on its hind legs — looking just like a person, with its face pressed against the front door. His sidekick was crawling on the ground right behind him.
Maybe he was trying to scratch his way in — or announce he was there and didn’t mean any harm?
One could only speculate.

“Florida home shockingly found two alligators at front door: ‘They’re getting smarter’”
Can’t say that about Democrats.
“Hey, Horace, you got a bobby pin? This lock looks pretty easy to pick.”
Land shark.
How much for non-resident license/ tags? Lol.
I’ll look it up. Florida?
CANDYGRAM
You beat me
I have personal experience with a mountain lion that thought doggy-doors were food dispensers. A 35 pound or so red healer stuck his head out the door and WHOOSH! Out he went. The big cat was waiting and drug him right out. The dogs owner, a 5’11” lady watched it happen and dashed out the front door in her PJs with her lion attack gear (yes, a broom) The terrified lion dropped the dog and ran for it’s life. The little guy needed a lot of stitches but he was saved due to her quick reaction and nerves of steel. On an aside Mr. Badger, the dog’s name was “Red” also.
And then I found out that Hetuck beat me at Post 7. 😏
Smarter?
You mean they were both armed and the one brought his brother to do the talking for him?
Great minds think alike....
This reporter cannot really be this illiterate. He has to be trying to make some sort of extraneous point.
As to first contact accounts of how Indians treated alligators, when Cabeza de Vaca walked from Florida to the Pacific Coast of Mexico between 1527-36, his records describe not a single alligator.
One presumes they were considered good eating.
I can deal with deer. Not so much the Black bears and the alligators.
It must be why I’m only comfortable visiting back home, instead of living there year-round. And I have to put up with old man winter for half a year to do that.
NEVER MOVE TO FLORIDA! NEVER! NEVER!

If they try to sell you Aluminum Siding or an Extended Car Warranty, I wouldn’t trust them.
Hope that helps...
Oh, BTW. DON’T give them your Social Security Number. Even if they claim they’re from the Federal government and have official-looking badges.
If they say: “We don’t need no stinking badges!” they’re just not to be trusted.
Getting there by way of the alley, of course.
They are alley gators....
The Jehovah’s Witnesses are getting more persistent these days.
Vampgators must be invited inside.
