That’s a baby.

No different than me having a snapping turtle in my pool in NH

Gators migrate between ponds looking for a mate. We have gators crossing streets into ponds all the time.

Little young gator, let him has his fun, keep the yappy dogs and housecats away else it will be gator snack time.

30 years ago I went to an Open House in Ponte Vedra and there was a baby gator in the dining room.

This is what happens when you don’t check your pool’s chlorine level regularly…

How did they get there?

It's freaking Florida... You can't swing a dead cat without hitting an Alligator in Florida!

Via a tail-swinging low crawl.

A few years ago I heard banging noises in my garage. I searched for what was causing it and it was a snapping turtle.

In FL, if there’s water, there can be gators.

Here in Tennessee we don’t need to worry about Gators taking over our swimming pools; all we need to worry about is bears doing the same thing. Oh, and there are some snakes who’ve done it in my pool.

The only thing better than having a pool is having a brother in law who has a pool.

Mmm, once I was swimming 'cross turtle creek
Man, them snappers all around my feet
Sure was hard swimming 'cross that thing
With both hands holing my ding-a-ling-a-ling!
