My home is north of 466 on a golf course with several retention ponds some close, some a distance away. There is a very large retention pond very close to our postal station .............. we have NEVER seen an alligator. We have lived here 18 yrs and the only thing we have seen is one coyote and a small fox. But, we would never walk a dog along the edge of any pond. It really comes down to common sense.
