I would not worry about alligators. I have been in Florida for almost 40 years, most of which were on ponds or swamps with alligators. Just be a smart pet owner by keeping your pet on a leash and AWAY from the ponds! Do not feed the alligators! Do not have your grandkids near the ponds without supervision! Do not provoke the alligators. The only attacks in the Villages that I am aware of have been against dogs where the owner was careless by not having the dog properly constrained.
