Recent complaints indicate that certain individuals have been intentionally feeding alligators in the ponds, causing the alligators to begin coming out of the pond onto properties.  This has resulted in small pets being attacked and/or disappear.  There have also been reports of people handling the smaller alligators.  This is not permitted!  Please observe restrictions regarding the feeding and handling of alligators in our community.  You can visit this website for more information: http://myfwc.com/media/310218/Alligator_Living_with_alligators_ppt.pdf.
