Before moving to Florida from the west coast, the idea of having an alligator in the 'backyard' was preposterous. We thought it would be scary and just plain dangerous. The pond behind our house was fenced off sometime in early 2011, I think it was just 6 weeks or so before we arrived here in the last week of April. To us it is no more scarry than going to the zoo. He apparently is also too small to be dangerous, even to a small pet, according to the Florida alligator control website. Noriko(the handicapped dog) and Ash(the car stupid cat) both do not go into the yard so the gator is not a threat .
We have named him 'Tater'. There have been very small gators also which we appropriately called 'Tatertots'. So there it is...and here are the pics.
