Getting a Little Chummy, Are We?
Late January is getting close to the time that alligators in this part of Texas begin courting. Mating will usually take place in March and April, and the females will lay their eggs in late May or early June. The eggs will hatch in late August or early September. Seeing these two so close together makes me think one is female, the other male. It's impossible to tell females apart from males by looking, other than that females are usually a bit smaller.
