Do you want a pet alligator 🐊?

[Charliefretz329]

Came across this pretty gal on the trail 🙂

Yes

No

[purplepoppy]

I often wonder when you see those alligator infested swamps how anything else there manages to survive long enough to actually breed. Surely they must clear an area of prey items pretty quick.

[Charliefretz329]

The alligators compete with each other, so that helps

[FatNeville]

No thanks. Living in Florida, alligators are easy enough to come by. So if I want to pet one, I can just go out and find one in the wild and not have to worry about taking it to the vet and all the responsibilities of pet ownership.

there's already sharks in my bath tub... not sure I can keep a gator too...

[Charliefretz329]

Real sharks 🦈? 😁

[Charliefretz329]

Wow 😯, just wow

[dustybiker2]

I've had my moments. Right now it sounds better than dealing with what I'm putting up with. So sure.


How big is it?

[sirderpsalot123]

I can't see you doing live feedings lol it would starve

[Charliefretz329]

That one is 12-14’

[Charliefretz329]

I could feed it lol, I fed my oscar fish live food

[dustybiker2]

@sirderpsalot123 it would. It would have to be moved clear out of my environment cause I'm protecting everything it would want to consider eating.

[IslaTheWitch]

no, they are better in their company in the natural environment

[Jmmmfi4]

EXACTLY

[handsomelad70]

One of my favourite boyhood cartoons was "Wally Gator," featuring a " talking" alligator.

[Charliefretz329]

Teach your pet gator to talk and you’ll have a rich sideshow in Florida

[handsomelad70]

Florida's ALWAYS been a sideshow, TEN TIMES more so under Ronnie DeFascist.

[exitseven]

These are the only pet alligators I would want.

[Dargil]

I had a caiman as a kid. Bad as pets. No character. You can even make friends with an Iguana or a Tegu.

[zagor]

Nah, I suspect their ears aren't near as soft as my labs. Alligator skin and all that.

Though they probably don't shed.

[strateguy632]

no but i would eat alligator meat!

[Charliefretz329]

That’s good eating

[AviatorTom]

Let gators be in their natural habitat.

[Charliefretz329]

What about “my” natural habitat 😏

[AviatorTom]

The gators were here first

[Charliefretz329]

I think the aliens beat the gatorss…

[sirderpsalot123]

No but alligators are cool

[Charliefretz329]

Oh yeah 😎

[laly520]

I am cool with cats..

[Charliefretz329]

Gators like cats too

[laly520]

pretty dark lol

[Charliefretz329]

😈 lol 😆

[thegreenyogi]

No thank you. Aren't they dangerous?

[Charliefretz329]

Only when they’re hungry

[thegreenyogi]

Good to know!! I guess that's less dangerous than a snake...

[Charliefretz329]

Yeah, I’d had to agree there. Snakes are a bit high strung. Gators 🐊 just lie around and chill when their bellies are full

[thegreenyogi]

It's comforting in a way. I'll have to hope said alligator has just eaten a meal if I ever come across one.

[Charliefretz329]

When they’re on the bank in the sunlight, they usually have a full tummy. In the water, they are hunting

[At3mis24]

No, it's a wild animal.

[euniestars]

ummmmmm don’t they like eat people

[Charliefretz329]

Only when they are really big and hungry

[euniestars]

HELL NO THEN

[DrPepper12]

Snakes would be lit tho

[Nikki1989]

Can I take it on walks?

[Charliefretz329]

Yes definitely. But only if it wants to go 😆

[evaneva]

I never want to, I'm afraid

[Harshbro]

Yeh that would be Fukn sweet till she got massy

[elizamichale1]

Goshhh not at all

[Anonymous]

See you later alligator 🐊

[LavLavLuv]

No… thank you

[Dongie]

No. .
