Question Alligators
Has anyone seen alligators in TV lately? We haven't seen any in months. Have they all been removed?

Do a search for my post "Lauren Villa Gator". To prove they are still her in TV. This one was wondering down our street, eventually picked up and returned to the pond in back of our area.

I haven't seen them either, but I think when it is this hot they go under to keep cool.

I'm sure they are trying to stay as cool as possible. Can't blame them. I would too.

We saw one by Cody's in LSL and another on Pinellas Pl, on the way back from Bonifay recently. They are around.

12 and 8 footer in pond behind my house, I have seen them both in the last few weeks. They dont move around much when we get rain, once we get a few days of sun I see them more often.

TV could give permission to local harvesters to take some of the gators.

They are a lot more visible during mating season, but that ended in July.

I think my neighbor plays golf in one in brown and white and carries her clubs in another. JK.
Since the great clean out at LSL, I have not seen one again but I am certain they are here. Like Palmetto bugs. just as prehistoric looking as well.

Last week, a 7 footer waltzed through the yards directly across the street from us in Pennecamp.
