It mainly consists of eating, sleeping and soaking up the sun. But, I have to admit I can get a little rowdy at times. So, get ready to see what my life at Alligator Alley looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rise and shine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 7 a.m. sharp, the sun rises and wakes me up to start my day of sunbathing and stretching out my beautiful scales. This is my favorite part of the day, and I make sure to savor every moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lunch is served<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 11 a.m., my stomach is growling and it\u2019s time for lunch. I\u2019m not a big fan of eating in front of an audience, but some of my fellow alligators do a live show three times a day at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. I prefer to have my meals in peace, away from the crowds. Once I\u2019ve had my fill, I\u2019m ready to lounge in the sun and enjoy the rest of my day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/gatoralleyfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/May2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gatoralleyfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/May2.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/gatoralleyfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/May2-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/gatoralleyfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/May2-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/gatoralleyfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/May2-700x933.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dinner and dress-up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love any excuse to get dressed-up and paint my nails.
