You might live next to a friendly neighbor who routinely pops up to your front door just to say hello. Well, this scaly neighbor not only made its presence known but invited itself into a Venice woman’s home unannounced in late March, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. On March 28, the FWC and Sarasota County deputies arrived at Mary Hollenback's home on Palatka Drive in Venice, after she called them about a nearly 8-foot-long alligator that pushed its way into her front screen door only latched by a magnet. Hollenback told 10 Tampa Bay she was sitting in her living room that evening around 5 p.m. watching television when she heard banging on her front door, thinking it was someone who lost their way. "I thought someone was trying to get into the wrong house. I got up, went to tell them they're in the wrong house," Hollenback said.
