Sometimes, you don't even have to go to the Everglades. We had a 'gator who liked to live in our dumpster at our trailer park in Jacksonville Beach, FL. Someone would eventually complain about him, Fish & Game would come and haul him off to the Everglades. A few weeks later, he'd be back.
BTW, when the garbage truck came, he'd flop out, then climb back in after the pickup. Never hurt a soul although you'd hear a hiss if you tossed the garbage in vigorously.
