The crocodilians always picked my curiosity. If they were GENERALLY tame, I would buy one right now. But what are the chances to get a tame alligator like this one? Almost impossible.

However, he is awesome!

icon_biggrin.gif I love crocs too icon_biggrin.gif Love to work with them of all the species i would pick a gator over the rest because they have a more docile nature when compared to caimens icon_biggrin.gif my problem is pet shops selling them to 14 year olds and giving wrong info on them icon_mad.gif i ve kepted a couple gators but even i dont have means to keep them long term so all my rescues go to my friends in florida or LA icon_biggrin.gif Crocs rule icon_biggrin.gif

You need to think in its future size too and the state where you live, I know a friend from the US bought one in Florida and went back to its home and after 3 years it was huge and he was reported and taken away from him by the law. But if you already took care of every detail, it would be great to have one as tame as that. icon_biggrin.gif

yes, that is the major problem. It's hard to keep a monster like this as a pet. But I guess that it would be fun to take care of one of those reptile in a zoo! icon_biggrin.gif

The problem with keeping a bit reptile like that as a 'pet' is that at some point the husbandry gets compromised. It's unfortunate that Bubba died at a relatively young age for an alligator. I think he was 17
