Something else I found, and wanted to add to my last blog about Florida Alligators is the following photo. It’s a great picture of what Gators do around the time they want to start laying eggs. Â
Last year, this photo was taken.
On first inspection it would appear to be only my car… ’slightly dusty’… but take a closer look under my car below!
Don’t let this you put you off, it is quite a rare occurrence!
 A few more Gator breeding Facts:
- Gators normally start to breed when they have reached around 6 feet in length.
- Gator breeding season is normally around April when Courtship begins.
- Females start to lay eggs around the June/July time period.
- Gators lay around 40 to 45 eggs at a time.
- Incubation period is about 65 days.
- Hatching’s are around 6 to 8 inches at birth.
- Until the next breeding season, the mother will protect her hatchlings against predators.
