|The local lake here in central Mississippi has a few small 'gators. The |largest I've seen was about 6 to 8 feet long (hard to judge since you |have to come around at night to see them out of the water). I hope I'm remembering the right number but you can guestimate the size of a gator by taking the length of the head out of the water by 2.5. I think it was 2.5 its been awhile since I was told this. The problem is getting the gator to hold still while you measure from the back of their head to the nose. And the nose happens to be just up from those sharp ugly teeth! 8-) So be careful doing the measuring! 8-) Truly hope this helps!
