Gator attack in Daytona Beach Scot Hollingsworth, 58, of Daytona Beach was atttacked by a large alligator that showed up at his front door Saturday night. Alligator mating season runs from May through June in Florida, which means the reptiles become more active during that time, sometimes interacting with humans. And some of these encounters with people can go badly. Last month, an 85-year-old woman was killed by a 10-foot alligator while walking her dog in St. Lucie County . Just over a week ago, a 7-foot alligator attacked a Daytona Beach resident on his front porch in the LPGA subdivision.
