If you're cold, they're cold. Let them inside.

RevTang
Good morning, can we take a moment to talk about Jesus "Gator Lover" Christ?
ThePudding

Can confirm. Have resident gator at our work's pond. His name is Jeff
Huhwhatcrazy
Crazy to think how the gators are actually safer than the people of Florida
Huhwhatcrazy
I'm talking about the bath salts vampires etc, not the retirees
Sheprador
You're in his habitat...what did you expect?
ObiSeanFlurNobi
It's not like they're complaining about it.
Dannyxrain
So do y'all kill the gators or what? I'm from CA and I found a huge lizard like 10" and we just killed it like nothing
Sheprador
What the fuck is wrong with you?
dbrownv
There's too many to do that. Plus they keep down the rodent and snake populations. Mostly harmless unless you're really stupid.
Dannyxrain
Gators?
surrealizations
Animal control still works here
ACOKE
I'm animal control...we don't do gators lol FL fish and wildlife will try to relocate but not usually with bigger or nuisance ones
dbrownv
And here we see a Florida swamp cat
hillbillyal
dont give the swamp kitties belly rubs...even less desirable results than regular cats

An hour ago with almost the same title. What a cock.
ToppurSolar
I know right it's not like it's my post or something
ObiSeanFlurNobi
As a Floridian, can confirm. Also I took a class at a local college when in hs to get licensed and put in the phone book to capture, remove
ObiSeanFlurNobi
and release dangerous and exotic wild life like this.
ACOKE
Dude, no shit? Where? I'm in jax and could you someone to recommend to people
ObiSeanFlurNobi
Westside. That was in 2006, long expired. I still have my snake poles and experience though. Any gator over 6ft I left alone.
ACOKE
I don't fuck with any of them if I can help it
ObiSeanFlurNobi
I can't help it, my parents would smack the shit out of me as a kid bc whenever I saw a snake I would pick it up and play with it. Love em.
SneakyHobbitsis
So this is why you guys do all those drugs
LegendofShrek
Lol between that, the snakes, the spiders, the people and the water, its no wonder that drugs are plentiful.
JYpictures
From my experience living in southern Fl, we don't need drugs to see crazy shit. http://imgur.com/jL6b7C3

Is it ... How can they say it's illegal to operate a wheelchair? How does that even work?
IMainReinhardt
My fave story to tell is when I was living in ocala a VERY drunk man was swatting a fire hydrant with a samurai sword shouting how the -
IMainReinhardt
Hydrant dishonored his family and had to face his wrath. I walked the fuck away from that one
Ihave2boobs
Floridian here. Can confirm. Taken more outta my swimming pool than I can even count
ACOKE
Wait is this really a problem? Lived on FL all my life never had a gator in a pool
SmellOfMonkey
Do you have a pool?
DaBear04
At least one every summer at my uncle's house. Usually just little guys that could squeeze through the fence but the occasional 6-7 footer
STGxDante
If there is water they will come.
Ihave2boobs
You must have a nicely fenced in yard lol our yard was booty fenced and we had a canal just a few hundred feet behind the house. /1
Ihave2boobs
Was not fenced**** damn swype
CounselorWaffles
omg, I legit lol'ed at "booty fenced". Thanks for the genuine laugh, and my sympathies as a former Floridian for your lack of pool cage. XD
Ihave2boobs
We had to call animal control nearly every month to have one removed. /2
ACOKE
Booty fenced ha ha ha we only had snakes but we weren't terribly close to major water
KCN1
I live in FL. Can confirm. I have one that took up residence in a pond near my house. This is why we don't swim in fresh water. Plus amoeba.
Tirade
Haha. Florida. 'Fresh' water. That's funny.
TracyAllenParks
Man I've been here for 12 years ::shudder:: have yet to see 1. I mean I know they exist and all, I think I have natural gator repellant.
CounselorWaffles
Lived in the Englewood/Rotonda West area for a while--saw 'em often on my drives. Creepy AF imo.
KCN1
Bring a flashlight to just about any decent size freshwater lake at night. Shine it around the banks and you'll likely see some glowing eyes
sonnydojo
Every Floridian should take at least one trip across Alligator Alley at dusk to see the hundreds of eyes reflecting back at you.
junkrabbit
Psh you're just not far enough inland. I grew up in Lakeland and we swam the rivers all the time. *que banjos*
DomDelouise
I love swimming the rivers! I'm a tampa native. I still wont swim in lakes though. Fuck that
swordrook
Gators definitely live in Lakeland though...

Hey aren't there suppose to be manatees at rainbow river?
AlexisActually
Dude, that was just OP's mom.
ACOKE
I've been to rainbow river before, super fun! A ton of manatees. Check what time of year they're around though. I think spring
junkrabbit
Certain parts of the year there's more, but in general yeah
ACOKE
I work animal control and you wouldn't believe the calls! " there's an alligator in the retention pond!"........ma'am you're in Florida.....
catatonicmoron
So you're saying there is no point in getting you to remove them?
ACOKE
I mean...I would try to help get it out of a pool but ponds and lakes....its nature
goldensky
They just come back. You can remove them, but another will move in.
catatonicmoron
Thanks, didn't know what a retention pond was. What about your backyard or pool?
goldensky
They don't really live in pools, no food and chlorine isn't good for them. If you see one call animal control. Keep a fence up if you like.
