Chelsea Brinson recorded the big reptile walking along McGregor Boulevard near Pine Ridge Road.

By the looks of it, the gator appeared to be at least 10 feet long and a couple of hundred pounds.

Alligator mating season starts in May and lasts about a month.

However, wildlife experts say alligators will roam around looking for a mate in the months leading up to the season.
