Ya'll just bump those amenity fees up and hire some trappers to make your pretend wildlife sanctuaries even more void of life.
I've been here for over a year and have seen exactly one alligator in the villages. That was like a couple days ago down by Spanish Springs. I was actually getting kind of disappointed, lol. I thought there would be gators everywhere from the way some people make it sound.
