They wouldn't have to tell me twice about the alligators OR snakes. In fact, from the looks of things, that pond would be lousy with mosquitos, so they wouldn't have had to tell me the first time...
I stayed in an inn in on the outskirts of Tokyo once that invited guests to avail themselves of the chambermaid -- I kid you not. We wanted to take the sign with us; we were sure no one would believe it unless we did.
When my family and I were in Florida last year, on our way to Disney we saw an alligator on the side of the road, basking in a pond. We gawked and squealed at the sight of him. (I assumed he was a he for some reason - although I would never get closer enough to really know, of course!)
We are so used to the hawks, deer, foxes we see in the no. east, an aliigator nearly made us drive off the road!
Two mornings ago we saw a coyote in our backyard! It was quite the topic of the day for us!
That water is so very green. I bet snakes and alligators aren't the only things in there! It's almost St. Patty's days, maybe there are some aquatic leprechauns too!

hum, the real dangers in my experience are from people. The sign should read, "Stay away from people."
Charles,
It's always good to stay away from venomous humans or people who have eighty teeth.
Funny sign. I found one this weekend that said "Garage. Keep Off."
I think they actually didn't want people to park in front and block their garage. But I guess they didn't want anyone to climb on it either.
This sign made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Oh my gosh. I love it. What a great start to my Monday. Thanks for sharing, Danette!!

We don't have ponds in my part of the world much less alligators.
