and I am not crazy over it's color either.

Is s/he big enough to make a tasty stew?

I sit down & be very still. breathe, relax & all upon the Crocodile Hunter, Stever Erwin, He knows about alligators so channel him & he will tell you what to do...I wouldn't listen if he tells you to go wrestle him though. Unless you ant to end up in heaven with Steve. So be careful about what he tells you...If he gives you a phone number to a place that will come out & do the work for you, take it down & call there.

Call your local animal control and have it hauled away. Don't try to explain it if they ask how it got there, just say "I don't know, can you come get it, please."
