It's tough enough to capture a lizard that gets into a house. At nearly 12 feet long, this alligator was a little tougher to handle.

In a Charlotte County neighborhood called Babcock Ranch, new houses are being built. A few days ago, however, when a worker walked up to one of the homes, he realized he needed some help.

A window installer spotted the very large reptile and contacted a supervisor. It's believed the alligator wandered into the structure on a cold day, and wind closed the door behind it.

The alligator was removed by a trapper and relocated.

And once they had it outside, it was still being difficult.

Be careful, alligators are everywhere in Florida.
