Found this surprise in my backyard

I guess that explains the no close ups. Looks real in the pic

Your question will be answered below.



I thought you would be the one to take a closer look and call me out on it.

I found it in my yard this morning because I told my girlfriend I was looking for one. I wasnt willing to spend the $4000+ it costs. But she found one at a very reasonable price.

It is a cast bronze alligator.

It looks extremely real, doesn't it :beer:

It is going to be part of the backyard makeover including my new lagoon style pool that is going in.

Hell... Even zoomed in, it looks pretty damn real. Three things scare the shit out of me: snakes, gators, and barracuda. I want nothing to do with even fake versions of them. :lol:

you should turn it towards the water to really freak out people passing by in their boats.

My neighbor across the way has a 12 foot bronze one and it was on his lower lawn ten feet from the water and a guy crashed into his sea wall, so the HOA made him move it. I wanted to put it at the end of my dock with its jaws hanging over the edge. But I realized it would not end well for me, so I didnt do it.

I agree with the snakes thing.

Sweet! Where do you purchase one?

 

[WireEater]

WTF, I thought dinosaurs were extinct.

 

[Outlaw99]

LOL...i thought it was real too !

My girlfriend got it for me. There are places online you can buy bronze ornamental statues.

This one is close to mine in dimensions, weight, and casting.

Crocodile Fountain.Close out Sale! Statue

WTF, I thought dinosaurs were extinct.

Indeed.

LOL...i thought it was real too !

My neighbor and wife just stopped by to look at the pool layout I painted on the grass and she was walking the yard and saw it at the last minute and just about fell out. Her husband laughed his ass off because he didnt warn her.

you sir are a funny man. i can just imagine a burglar hoping over your fence some night and peeing themselves when they end up next to it

 

[Camaro_94]

I'd put that inside my house next to my front door... That would be the best security alarm ever!!

Definately fooled me. I would have flipped out if I saw one in my back yard that was real.

boots making time

Thats what I was thinking.

Found this on the front porch last night...

I was hoping you were charing for alligator rides or something? :shrug:

Dang, it's long enough to make a nice belt!

Adam, that freaked me out when I saw your post! Very realistic! Now go water your lawn!!!

It doesnt need water, it got a disease and died. I am giving it a proper funeral by placing a lagoon pool there

 

[MurphinAintEasy]

What's wrong with that dog???

 

[CobraBob]

Well, you had me fooled big time. I know all about gators down there (my mom lives in Bradenton) so I assumed this was just another one that wandered to close to a home. It sure does look real, and should look great with your planned lagoon style pool.

Adam, now all you need is a concealed speaker that plays recorded sounds of a pissed off 'gator....lol

I definitely knew something was up with its position and the color of the inside its mouth..
