I am sure I will have lots of fun with the alligators living in Osceola Lake on the University of Miami campus next year.

Being next to a body of water in Florida you'll find lots of "visitors"!

My grandfather's house borders two canals in Cape Coral and I've seen so many different things crawling or scurrying around there it was unbelievable. The small lizards aren't bad and are fun to play with but watch out for the palmettos and other water bugs. I'd rather deal with the deer in my backyard every morning. I've never seen any alligators in the canals there although I have seen them on the sides of the road like in Nahalita's pic.

And be careful when walking through the grass barefoot.
