WOW those are beautiful. How close did you get to that large gator and the hots to get such great pics? I heard that in FL if animal control catches an alligator in a residential area, ie on a gulf coarse, then they will euthanize it. Is that true.

thanks! large gator? well i just want to point out that it is a crocodile, not an alligator. the American Crocodile is endangered, and is found only in extreme South FL. there are only between 1000-2000 left in the wild. this particular croc was observed from a dock. i was out of the water, it was in the water, about 10 feet away.

the venomous snakes were obsereved from... pretty close! haha. but i don't handle them yet.

as for gators on golf courses, i'm pretty sure they don't get bothered unless they appear to have lost their fear of humans. but you're right, if a gator is found in a residential area, like sometimes they'll show up at someone's front door, or in a pool, then the gator is euthanized.
