My friend used to have a gator and it was like an 8 footer tame as a dog and we rode it around as 6yr olds supervised by an adult of course lol

In my future I'm allowed to have one. Not now. I live in n.h. and don't have the space or $ to provide proper environment for it. When I'm older and my kids are over 18 and I'm able to move to laura's house...ah hem... I mean warmer climate, I WILL have an alligator. At least once before I die. :) and no dubya, by 'have ' I do not mean on a plate at "tail gators "... (haha.my brother and his wife have eaten there. They live in n.carolina. ... and boy did I give them sh** for it!!! ) :mad:

I'm vaguely considering getting a Caiman or Gator...


Maybe if they have that "Bonsai Gator" I can get him since I love to rescue reptiles anyway. Hmm...

From what I have researched though, alligators are actually 'nicer ' to work with than caimen. Laura? What has your experience been? Perhaps similar to how a laid back great dane can be as opposed to a frantic chihuaua? Haha :p

I've only worked with gators but they are most suitable for what I do. Caiman are "meaner" and stress very easily. They are notorious for going off feed.

Yes laura those are the things I read about. That although the gators get MUCH larger, they are not as nasty as caiman.

Maybe I can rescue some malnourished Gator that won't get as big.

Or I can just rent the downstairs from my parents. They said I can... it's huge enough and insulated. Concrete floors. Hmm

Or I could get a CAIMAN and just accept it won't be a hands on reptile.

Yeah you could always keep animals perfectly well, knowing that you cannot pet and bond with them. I look at it like fish. Do we take them out of water and hold them? No, of course not. But people enjoy them, feed them, care for them. I had 3 types of turtles in a water and basking area-type setup in my home and I did not technically 'hold and pet ' them. But I loved watching the unrelated species interact with each other and enjoy their swimming and basking.and they 'knew ' when it was treat time. They loved cheerios :) and shrimp :)

Yes, Batgirl, you can hold and cuddle fish. Google "walking catfish". I need one.
