Just a case of knowing what you're doing I guess Ian. Apparently once you get on it's back and grab it's jaws it cannot open them and just a few laps of insulation tape is enough to keep them closed. I'm not sure I would trust that at first though.

Shoot it and make some handbags and a few pairs of cowboy boots ....

That they are mate and they'll also feed the small gators in the lake at the villa which makes them lose their fear of humans. When they grow beyond 4ft. That's their death warrant signed.
