From a post in Herp World Chinese Cayman Alligator Desperately needs rescueing Quote: Hello all, My brother called me the other night with a problem. His friend owns a chinese cayman alligator (Spelling?) In the state of Kentucy it is illegal to own. Problem being . The poor thing is 6ft in a 6ft aquarium (wrong in the first place) and he does not want to deal with him (second wrong never get an animal not thinking of future care) He says he is very doscile . BUT This guy is thinking of dumping him in the wild to fend for himself Cry ...Winter is around the corner and he has never been on his own. So I thought I would see if there was ANYONE willing to take him before he gets dumped Mad The gator is in the bowling green ky area.I would take him but I don't have the means to accomedate him we already have a Nile Monitor. PLEASE if anyone can help or knows of where to get help that would be great ..Because of the legal status of owning one in KY he is afraid to ask around there. Thanks Contact Jim at rescue@herpkingdom.com for contact details. _________________ Yours, NiColeRuSSell "I'm gonna do what I should've done in the first place.

That would be the reptile of all reptiles if you could tame them Back to top Grimlock Honored Member Joined: Mar 03, 2006 Posts: 213 Posted: Fri Nov 10, 2006 12:48 am    Post subject: no, crocodilians do NOT tame and are lousy pets, i reallllly wish people would not buy/sell them. it is my unpopular opinion that all crocodilians in the pet trade, which cannot be returned to the wild or used for educational purposes, should be euthanized. because eventually they will hurt someone or be released, or just suffer a long cruel death due to neglect. very, very few people have the facilities and funds to properly care for one, even the "dwarf" varieties (the smallest of which is still 4') Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         theTegu.com Forum Index -> Reptiles All times are GMT - 5 Hours Page 1 of 1 Translate to English using Google Language Tools:   Jump to: Select a forum General Site Forums----------------Site NewsWelcomeFun & GamesSuggestion BoxBusiness Ratings & ReviewsMembers LoungeHelpful Information Tegu Forums----------------Normal DiscussionGeneral CareHealth IssuesTegu HousingClassifiedsBreeding & GeneticsShow & Tell (Picture Forum)Lights!
