Gators tend to become more active in April and May, during mating season. After this, female gators tend to build their mound nests in late June or early July and lay between 32 to 46 eggs, according to the FWC website. Incubation of their eggs takes from 6o to 65 days and hatching takes place in late August or early September. Even after the eggs hatch, gators remain territorial over their young.
