It is understood that his neighbour keeps the animals as pets in his home, with one escaping onto the front doorstop of Tony\u2019s home. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was definitely crazy. It would\u2019ve been a rude awakening if I would\u2019ve walked out and seen it,\u201d Tony, who lives in Kiski town, told WTAE.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The reptile was reported to be huge, at roughly \u201cfive to six feet long\u201d according to Tony in his shocked state.<\/p>\n
However, it was a fellow resident that first made the discovery, with a keen eyed neighbour first spotting the beast.<\/p>\n
Knowing that Tony had only just been dispatched from hospital, he decided to ring him to make sure he wouldn\u2019t open his front door and get himself into danger.<\/p>\n
\u201c[They] called me and said, \u2018Whatever you do, Tony, don\u2019t come out on your porch \u2014 there\u2019s a big gator,\u2019\u201d Tony told the Tribune-Review, relieved at the kind deed from his neighbour.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was stretched out in front of his doorway. He couldn\u2019t get out [of his house] if he wanted to,\u201d one of Gurlasky\u2019s friends, Jason Pisarcik, 45, also told the Tribune-Review.<\/p>\n
Tony, however, didn\u2019t seen too bothered about the gator\u2019s presence, claiming he knew it would happen eventually.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was just a matter of time before they [got] loose,\u201d Gularsky said. <\/p>\n

He was aware of his neighbours strange possession of the creatures, with around ten of the beasts living next to him for months now.<\/p>\n
The scaly creatures were not totally surprising to Tony, but still a shocking scene.<\/p>\n
\u201cI ended up being the unfortunate one \u2014 it had to be on my porch," he added. <\/p>\n
It is understood that his neighbour, named Dominic Hayward, 26, was arrested by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission last month for improper sale and transportation of certain animals.<\/p>\n
He posted some of the animals online for sale as a \u201ccool\u201d outlet for owners.<\/p>\n
The gators were removed by local authorities, saving Tony\u2019s front step and Tribune-Review says Hayward is still in custody in Armstrong County Jail.<\/p>\n
