Field herping in FL is always exciting...:dgrin:
(Don't remember where I took these, but I think it was while driving on I-75...A.K.A. alligator alley)

So... technically it be an alley, not a field.

That's neat, I see geese and toads... And you want to move away, why?

Haha that's just not fair! I get excited over iguanas at the pet store and you can just drive down the road to see gators!!!!! Very nice!

It almost looks like one of the lookouts off Hwy 41 right past Everglades City :)

Actually, you're probably right. That water does look too clean to be something that's under those overpasses on 75. I don't go to Everglade city often so I assumed I took those on 75.

In everglade city is where I had the closest call with a gator. I'm sitting at a table outside of some gas station/general store...when I turn around and see a good sized gator not 15 feet from me. So, after screaming like a woman in labor :eek:, I took some pics. I'll try to find & post those.

Really neat pictures. I'm up here near Gainesville, and I swear *real* alligators fall from the sky. The little pond I have has 2-4 baby gators in it all the time. :P

I live in Naples and Its nice to be able to see gators often. I've traveled to near Everglades city to go fishing and had some close calls with a few of them. There used to be a place you could go where there were 20+ wild gators that stayed near a specific part of a canal. They recently built a deck for people to stand on to get to see them. Was always exciting to see them in the wild. I live near a lot of canals and they always have gators in them.
