There is a very small pond close to my house, yes I assume it has a gator...I never actually check, but has someone put their little baby gator in to get things started? Why don't they just scale the ponds somehow and remove them?...can you tell I'm scared?
Again it just baffles me...we're gonna build this beautiful community, homes and streets and trees and beautiful ponds here and there...and now, bc of what...the ponds are full of gators...did they all travel at night past the gate guards from outside the TV and jump in. This isn't caveman vs Adam..this is cow field, development, ponds...now full of gators........your turn, educate me. Pls

In general, the gaters seem to prefer (migrate) to have a pond to themselves. Unusual to see more than two together.
The ponds are connected by large underground pipes for storm water control so at least the smaller ones may be moving through those.
Nothing to fear if you stay out of the water and a safe distance from the banks.
