What would you do? I'd probably yell and scream while running out the door! I can't even imagine this! Article: 69-year-old Floridian spots animal after it pushes through porch screen OLDSMAR, Fla. - And some people get jittery about mice in the kitchen. Sandra Frosti, a 69-year-old central Floridian, found an 8-foot long alligator prowling in her kitchen late Monday night, authorities said. Frosti said the gator must have pushed through the back porch screen door and then went inside through an open sliding glass door at her home in Oldsmar, just north of Tampa. It then apparently strolled through the living room, down a hall and into the kitchen. Video and rest of the story: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24254754/?GT1=43001#storyContinued

Ohmygoodness, I probably would have had to change my pants! I had a small snake in my house in NC once and totally freaked. I can't even imagine an 8 ft alligator.

LOL me too! My daughter had a roommate and she had a snake. One day I was doing dishes and she came out the room with the snake around her neck. I didn't see her, she came to the sink to ask me a question and the snakes head moved towards me and I ran like a scared little girl. lol I told her if she wanted to live here, she had better think twice about that the next time. lol

I am afraid I would be long gone. My husband wants to move to Florida and I don't. Seems this is another good reason why I shouldn't. I like the wildlife but don't want it coming in the house with me.

OMG that is terrifying. Yep, I would be joining you, screaming and shouting and heading for the nearest exit with the phone in my hand. What a shock! I have problems with mice and spiders but this is a little bit larger and far more terrifying! Thanks for sharing this with us icy.
