We've seen him twice on the metal tubing on the holding pond on the corner of Charlotte and Hillsborough (sp) Trail just sunning himself. I've taken a picture. but I can't figure out how to load it here.

Your small pets are safe if you have them inside or are walking them on a leash. The pets are not supposed to be outside on their own.

The gator I'm talking about, could be the same one, was in the middle of the street between Newbridge and Ulelah street.

The technical term for small pets on a leash in proximity to alligators is "bait."

It's possible you'll see more of this, this time of year. I believe it's "mating season" for gators.
