Officers with the gun violence task force were serving a warrant at a home along the 1000 block of West Nevada Street early Thursday.
Animal control was called to the scene around 6:30 a.m. Thursday. They recovered one 3-foot alligator and three snakes. Two of the snakes were rattlesnakes and one was a gaboon viper - all are poisonous and illegal to have in the city.
The homeowner is being questioned by police.
