Mostly in the ponds on the golf courses, but one was in a flower bed on a neighbor's property the other day. You can't go looking for them, like in a zoo. They don't stay put and are frequently submerged.

For people with a longing to see them up close and personal, go to Gatorland, near Orlando. They've got hundreds of them in all sizes, from babies to monsters.

We have seen Larry as well. We have seen the one by Palmer and two small ones in the pond by Palms course and Freedom Point.

I saw a small one a few days ago in a pond on a golf course in The Villages of Caroline. It's on the right on Stillwater Trail heading toward O'Dell. I don't know which golf course it is or what hole, but just past the Caroline mailboxes and just before the Kaylee Villas there are two ponds. I've seen them there before.

There has been a 4/5 foot gator in the pond at Turtle Mound Executive course. It was handing out around the 7th green when I was there.

There was one in the pond at Saddle brook too but I don't know if it still resides there.

When it's hot and sunny, many times I've seen gators in the pond south of Palmer CC.
They seem to be especially active during mating season!

We saw two today at Sweetgum. Basically, you can assume their is one in every pond in Florida.

Mating season is upon us so sightings and mating calls should increase.

There was a huge one in the Charlotte pond till a couple weeks ago. I guess the people living there complained and they hauled it off...Sad! There is a small one in the smaller pond on the corner of Hillsburough and Charlotte now...🐊

My backyard. I'm on Evans Prairie. I've seen a number of them, from lil' bitty guys to a seven footer.
