At any rate, I never let my dogs out at night in the back yard, just at the front of the house. As you can tell, I'm paranoid about gators.
Yes Bearfoot they eat at night, because of eyesight issues. Gators just see better at night, making no less than 2 round of the area they consider theirs. A gator can lay I wait for hours for it meal to make a mistake. As stated earlier in this post, the pipes in the village are a highway for them. They travel the roads when they are ready to move, just ask the Neighbor Hood Watch how many they see at night.
