Alligator mating season is supposedly April-June ... GREAT, we're in the middle of May! I am a little spooked ... should I be? And what should I do if I am attacked?

Hey---don't let anyone scare you. Be reasonable, and don't put yourself in a stupid situation (you know, don't jump in and swim with them!), and you should be fine. I just went to the Everglades last month---for 7 days, by myself, and I saw plenty of gators and crocs, but I never felt afraid of them. Have a great time!

I agree with the guy above me, never go anywhere alone. Remember Aaron Ralston!
If you ARE attacked I hope it's only a flesh wound! Make sure you have your cell phone with you... And supposedly if a gator drags you under and you play dead (go limp) he will elt go momentarily to adjust his grip but I've never been attacked so I wouldn't really know.
Good luck and enjoy your trip!

You are going to be in a kayak that is longer than most alligators get in areas that are not extremely remote. Don't worry about it and keep your hands and feet inside the 'yak.

never go alone is my bet.
