Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program
SNAP uses contracted nuisance alligator trappers throughout the state to remove alligators from locations where they are unwanted or unwelcome. If a complaint meets the qualifying criteria, SNAP will issue a permit to a contracted nuisance alligator trapper authorizing the removal of the animal.
Complainants must be able to grant legal access to the property on which the alligator is located. SNAP does not permit the removal of nuisance alligators from private or publicly managed property without first obtaining permission from the property owner or management authority.
In 2018, SNAP received 14,739 nuisance alligator complaints resulting in the removal of 8,139 nuisance alligators.
Removing Pythons in Florida
The Burmese python is an invasive species which negatively impacts native wildlife in and around the Everglades ecosystem in south Florida. The FWC is encouraging the public to help manage this nonnative constrictor.
Pythons can be humanely killed on private lands at any time with landowner permission - no permit or hunting license required - and the FWC encourages people to remove and kill pythons from private lands whenever possible.
The FWC wants the public to help remove invasive species such as the Burmese python and has removed obstacles to killing pythons year-round. Burmese pythons and other nonnative reptiles may be humanely killed without a permit or hunting license at any time throughout the year, except by use of traps or firearms (unless provided for by specific area regulations) on the following Commission-managed areas. Do not enter areas posted as “Closed to Public Access.”
maybe they can chop them up and feed them to the crocodiles?

A Florida woman got what has to be a pretty terrible omen the other day. The sort of thing that would cause some ancient Egyptians, Native Americans, or Greeks to absolutely shun the person it happened to out of fear that they might end up too close to whatever calamity ends up befalling the newly cursed person.
A 3-legged alligator plodded slowly and directly toward the woman as she played golf near her home in Bonita Springs, Florida. Then the gator followed her home and just sat outside her house. For hours. Staring inside. Both her home and her soul (probably). If that’s not a metaphor for impending death I don’t know what is.
no word on whether the animal swallowed a clock or if the woman was related to captain hook, Wendy or the lost boys
Also on the rise are wolf attacks, cougar attacks, bear attacks (please stop hugging them), and others..
