DH's cousin lives in Zachary, LA, north of Baton Rouge. Years ago he found a fairly small alligator in one of his farm ponds. It's a field where they run cattle and there are 3 ponds in that field. It was all fenced in with farm fence. They have no idea where he came from, but 10 years later, Wally is still there. Although they have never seen him out of a pond, he does travel between the 3 ponds on the property. Apparently he is getting enough to eat, because he has grown to about 6.5 feet now. A couple years ago they had a flood and the field was covered with 3 feet of water and the fence between the field and the house went down. I worried that Wally would be on the move then, but he apparently hunkered down in the pond because that's where they found him once the water had receded.
DH's cousin, an avid outdoorsman says the same thing about gators and the south. If there's a body of water, just expect it to have a gator in it. That way you will be safe. And obviously even if it didn't have one before, no telling if there's one there now.
