I've only seen a few heads sticking out of lakes and one dead on the side of the road so far.

An oldie, but a goodie. I think mating season down in here is April to July, so be on alert, Florida golfers!

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Probably a smart move though.

Yeah, you want to stay away from the University of Florida fans.  Stick with the Seminoles, they're much better!

Really? How long have you lived in Florida? I see them all the time in Myrtle, and based on experience and my knowledge about gators, they are a lot more common in Florida. Maybe Winter Park has a low population for one reason or another.

It's been less than a year. I saw a few sunning themselves driving to the beach last weekend. Winter Park is very urban, so it's not hospitable to gators.

This happens all the time...the little one wanted to play through, and the big one wouldn't let him, so the little one gets mad and hits into him, and it turns into a fight.  

Either that or they were playing a $20 Nassau and the little one was down and kept pressing but lost and couldn't pay up.

You might be surprised about how well they adapt. If you own a dog, keep it away from lakes and ponds.

We do, but he is moving back to Ohio with my son in a few weeks. I'm sure there are a few around. I just haven't seen any in my neighborhood. It is very densely populated. Homes barely have yards and are stacked on top of each other. My yard has a 6' privacy fence as well.

No problem. They don't care about you! They only want to kill each other so they can breed all the females in that particular vicinity! Go to a bar on Friday night, you'll see the same behavior from humans!
