Do not worry. The Gator can easily move about. This is Florida and has water and swamps everywhere. They walk very well and can out run you.

In the winter/cold they hardly move and do not require much food.

Fences do not stop them. They can dig a hole or tunnel in minutes.

Highways are a problem though but not the neighborhood roadways.

Even a 4 ft gator will grab a cat or small dog so fast you can't stop it. So do not walk them around ponds.
AND they can climb chain link fencing if they need to. Resourceful. Their species will probably outlast humans
