Florida home shockingly found two alligators at front door: ‘They’re getting smarter’

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.

The only reason the gators are there is because the resident is feeding them.

When I was a kid, you could go swimming and skiing in lakes without fear of alligators being in the same body of water. I feared water moccasins much more.

I can’t imagine being ok with one or two showing up at my front door.

It’s gotten out of hand down there.

Not a gator guy, but I have observed them. They are not getting smarter. They are timing human behavior. Very shy animals in my necks of the woods ( 2 places both alligator habitats).

Someone is feeding them.
