[Happy Villager]

My husband and I ride our bicycles over the bridge on Morris Blvd to Sumter Landing and have spotted alligators in the water there at least four times. We have also seen gators near Palmer on Buena Vista. The only one we saw on land was on the Bacall Golf Course and it was just laying there sunning itself. We kept a good distance away from it.

As for snakes we have only seen one and that was also on the Morris Blvd bridge. It was being captured by a worker who told us it was poisonous. My neighbor across the street told us yesterday a worker she hired to trim her trees reported seeing a 3-4 ft black snake in her bottle brush bushes. Now I'm afraid to take my dog out in the yard in the dark!
