I am amazed at how few gators there are in neighborhood ponds near my son's present and previous homes in the Jacksonville area. Surely there must be some but I have never seen any. I know FL has a longer gator hunting season than we do and perhaps they take out more but our ponds here are always chock full of gators. We do see the gators moving from pond to pond, usually at night. No one here walks their dogs in the dark.
Just had a call from our realtor, she wants to bring someone by but this person does not like snakes or gators. Hmmm, I think she is looking in the wrong neighborhood.
