Theo,
That is my thinking too. My pond is located next to a big swamp area and should be crawling with snakes, but, in fact I see few snakes. I'm wondering if 'ole Sneaky Pete is keeping the population in check...I am going to do more research in this area (and all things gators eat) before "relocating" them.
Bruce,
I am going to check into population charastics of gators. I cant inagine a whole lake-o-gators..
I think they are generally treated like snakes in that "the only good snake is a dead snake" when in fact snakes can be very beneficial. Perhaps gators can be beneficial too.
