Snakes are not plentiful in the Okefenokee, but this one dropped into Mike's boat as he pulled up to the Round Top Shelter.

Round Top Shelter

A food habituated alligator that resides near the Round Top shelter.

This alligator spent several hours near the shelter, waiting for a handout. When Terry caught a catfish, he had to reel it in quickly to keep it from getting eaten by the 'gator.
