12-foot alligator found in newly built Florida home ahead of open house
Just when you thought Florida’s housing market couldn’t get any scarier.
A worker putting the finishing touches on a new Fort Myers-area home this month discovered a gigantic 12-foot alligator loitering in the master bedroom, [according to the Miami Herald.]('https://www.miamiherald.com/news/state/florida/article259945915.html')
A window blind installer spotted the reptile and hastily called professional trappers to remove it.
Video taken at the residence in Babcock Ranch — where houses fetch upwards of $1.5 million apiece — show two men straining to yank the gator out of the home with a rope.
The agitated reptile can be seen rolling over several times during the struggle before finally being removed.
Project manager Matthew Goodwin told McClatchy News that the alligator was likely looking for some indoor warmth during a stretch of cold weather and became trapped.

Goodwin said the reptile made sure to sample every nook and cranny in the home before settling on the master bedroom.
“He went into every room and his mark,” Goodwin said, according to the outlet.
Add this to the long list of "WTF would anyone live in FL?"

Possible he was looking for MOJOE?.........John
I did consider that, along with the Contractor wanting to leave the new owners a housewarming gift of suitcases, shoes and handbags, along with a something for the grill???
Of course if [USER=79]@MOJOE[/USER] did find that gator, and he used his fish ruler to measure, damn thing would have been reported as long as a school bus... ;) ;);)
