That's a bit of a wild guess.

Next time he's asleep, slip out and measure him.

A little info...

When an alligator is in the water, often all that is visible is its head. But you can gauge its length by estimating how many inches are between the bump on its snout and its eye. That number of inches roughly translates to how many feet the alligator is from nose to tip of tail.

Male alligators are larger than female alligators. The average adult size for a female is 8.2 feet (2.6 meters), and the average size for a male is 11.2 feet (3.4 meters). Exceptionally large males can reach a weight of nearly half a ton or 1,000 pounds (454 kilograms).

That's good. You don't need to measure the entire length now.

...and just a little tape measure along his head will do the job just fine.

I did just that. I measured the distance on the head and then the total length. The calculation for the head came to within two inches of the total length. I am a little beat up though.

As if I would really try...

Not the best pictures, taken from in my house through the window and the screen of the lanai. The deer were laying around my backyard, one right next to the screen.

When the sun starts going down the deer get very active. Here are 4 does around the salt lick we have out back for them. Taken with one of John's new trail cameras.

Luna is pretty amazing but I am not saying that it will happen butt you still have to remember that it is still a wild animal and you have to be more than very careful.

In another video Luna was growling at some humans. She didn't attack them, but made her dislike known.

Those videos of Luna remind me of the common reports of black panthers living wild in this country.

The reports are almost like those of UFO's though. They have never really been proved, as far as I know.

I am sure there are issues where the storm was the worst but here they seem to be fine. Late yesterday afternoon I saw the deer in my back yard including the fawns that were actually running around and playing.

I am glad wildlife has recovered from the stormy weather. But animals adapt to their environment. That is what they are programmed to do.

I am still glad the worst of it is over.
