I've seen the chaos in my kitchen after a little ole (yes, I said that) mango spider made it inside in the middle of the night.....I can't quite picture this version of chaos. Did she use the plate to try and kill it? Do they not make alligator spray like spider spray? What is the phone # for the Animal Capture of Culebra? I think we all should have that # on our refrigerator.
Woman finds 8-foot alligator in her Florida kitchen OLDSMAR, Fla. - And some people get jittery about mice in the kitchen.
Authorities say 69-year-old central Florida woman found an 8-foot long alligator prowling in her kitchen late Monday night.
Sandra Frosti says the gator must have pushed through the back porch screen door and then went inside through an open sliding glass door at her home in Oldsmar, just north of Tampa. It then apparently strolled through the living room, down a hall and into the kitchen.
A trapper with Animal Capture of Florida removed the alligator, which was cut by a plate that was knocked to the ground during the chaos. But no one inside the house was injured.

LMAO......
the news just played the original 911 call the woman made, and the 911 operator kept asking if she was sure it wasn't an iguana in her kitchen.....
the other thing to note is they think the alligator went into the house because it is mating season.
I leave with no further comment.

I love it in Florida when the real natives take over for a moment  Of course, that is probably one dead gator

yes, sadly, the powers that be decided that once he had made it into his first human abode, he would make further home invasions, and he received the death penalty. I wonder how many times they have observed alligators making repeated home visits?

That would be, unsubstantiated, but as a former Floridian...home invader repeats - 0. Dead gators who happen to be the invaded - many (you know how I feel about gators...Harry, whose secret name was Eduardo particularly...how can you resist a gator who loves classical music AND scares the crap out of jet skiers!? How could I help but be in love?).

did Eduardo also come visit you for a midnight snack in your kitchen? Did he only like classical music?

He knew I didn't give snacks...no animal cookies for him  I did try to toss a couple of pesky kids in with him once but they declined...you want to keep kids off your boat? A 14 foot guard gator works!
Classical music was the only music that had him hanging around the stern of the boat, lazily swimming back and forth for hours. Well, except the couple of times he tried to get the boat amourously engaged...that was some other music I couldn't hear. Ah, Eduardo...
