When will these communities do routine checks for these critters? They are senior retirement places full of men & womem with mental limits.

Ugh, ugly, bellycrawling reptiles. All over the southeast in ponds and bayous. The species found around Gainesville FL are especially repulsive.

They do. Then they are supposed to call Fish and Wildlife and they come and remove them above a certain size.

The gates keep out the black people but not the alligators.

Who gave the gator the gate-door code?

Well, it’s estimated that there are more than a million of them in Florida; and I’m not sure how you ‘check routinely’ for a critter who lives half in water and owns Florida as its ‘hood’.

We just had some guests from Charleston area. They really enjoyed being able to swim in our lake. Apparently this is not something you can do there, if you’re smart, due to the presence of gators.

1/2 the neighborhood cries that we invaded their territory, the other 1/2 wants them gone when they become too large or a nuisance.

I always want to ask the cry babies where they think they are living. Development is OK for them, but as soon as any more houses developed it’s all crying about the poor animals and their habitat.

Hi.

Alligators in Florida are like grifters in DC, everywhere.

I’ve seen gators get into cars, pools, houses and climb over a fence.

They occupy football fields, and golf courses. Be careful bbq near a river or lake.

Depending on the wedding venue, they will be unwelcomed guests.

Gator is best served fried with honey mustard or Tabasco with your choice of lager.

Enjoy.

5.56mm

They are the rats of the swamp! Time for some gator harvesting.

Some Gated Community. A few of the original ‘residents’ are 7’10”, crawl around in the mud and have no intention of moving except to snap up some food. Apparently the gators are a feature, not a bug. Be careful putting Grandma into this place.

My stars and garters! Thank God she wasn't bitten by an 8 foot alligator! That would have really bad.

How did the alligator get into the gated community?

Who gave it the code?

I’m probably moving to the Naples area . . . how are the critters there? and, do they have dog parks in the area?
