I don't mind frogs and snakes (although I haven't seen any). However I have a deathly fear of gators. The neighbours tell me in five years they haven't seen a gator in this area.

I'm hoping the ponds are too small and if gators do come through the pipes, they won't stay around. I think gators are dormant when it is cold. I'm told you can hear the gators "talking" at night when they're active. If I see a gator, there will be a "for sale" sign on the lawn the next morning!
Call me before you put the for sale sign up! I hope youre not a golfer... we share the courses with the gators. As the saying goes.... "they were here first".
