I love this so much! The gator seems pretty understanding... basking places must be limited!

I CERTAINLY woodn't fight with an alligator for a place in the sun. To wait seems a good choice, in this case...

Yes, I believe you're right! Red bellied turtles - good call! (http://www.flickr.com/photos/luvnnature/2660808489/)

Sunning logs must be at a premium in Wakulla. And could those be red-bellied turtles?

Whatever they were waiting in line for, it must have been good.
