Nice Shots. Do you feed them?
No we dont feed them. Basically that would be the same as feeding bears it would make the alligators come even more frequently. The one here is one of four that were here this week in the lagoon. Those others were 7, 5 and 4 footers

Here is a sequence of photographs of the gator in our backyard this morning. Although i did not put a tape measure on him for obvious reasons, He's between 10 and 12 feet long. This is one of the largest ones we've seen in 36 years here in Hilton Head. The wildlife control folks need to move him. They usually do when they get over 8 feet.
Old rule of thumb for gators: the distance from the tip of nose to eye in inches is overall length in feet.
