Richmond family finds alligator on back porch

RICHMOND, Texas – A Richmond family found an unexpected guest outside their home Thursday morning.

The homeowner said she found an alligator on the back porch of her home in Royal Lakes Estates, so she called the Gator Squad.

Alligator hunter Christy Kroboth helped capture "Batman," an 8-foot male alligator. She said someone in the area was feeding the alligator.

"When an alligator shows up on someone's back porch or on their driveway, that's a kind of a good telltale sign that this alligator has been fed by people," Kroboth said. "When an alligator comes to your back porch, they're used to people. They're no longer afraid of people. They're smart, so they know people come in and out of doors. So this alligator ended up at the wrong house."
