I did call a alligator control guy last summer. In the ten days that he had a permit, he never saw it once, it never ate the bait. Since there is no way an alligator can be moved, only thing that can be done is kill it. So, I'm trying to live with it as long as it stays visible, and across the pond. Someday, if it bites me I'll remember that old tale about the guy who saved the snake, and think "well, you knew it was an alligator when you left it in the pond"
