Alligator !!!

Yes I saw my first alligator in FL!!! I was pretty excited about that and intrigued! We saw him from the house, he usually comes out arpubdv9-10 am. Across the street from where we are staying is where he was. About 8' long, he comes up to soak up the sun. I guess they have 2 in there.  I didn't see him yesterday so I thought about buying him some chickens and throwing them in to see if he would come up. Might have been an expensive snack so I opted for patience and waited.Thy have a fence all the way around the pond. He goes between this pond and another lake. We are on the outer part se of Orlando .

Lots of turtles in the pond too out there in the middle. Big curved shells and about a foot long. He's on the left side in this picture. Plus 2 turtles swimming in the middle .... Alligators must not eat turtle I guess?
