This happened to me with chickens. When it's an idea, you can't even wait to get that thing into the oven! Then it becomes a reality and it takes about 7 minutes for you to decide that you're madly in love with this creature and there is no way in hell you're going to eat it!

Just breed them and use the babies for meat. That is what I do with my rats. My breeders will never be fed off. They will live long happy lives and when they die of old age they will get a proper burial in the back yard. The babies on the other hand, all get to the proper size and either get fed off or knocked out and thrown into the freezer.

awesome little gators by the way!

We can't own Gators here.
How and what are you going to build for them?

They are adorable!

I'm curious too. A lot of critters aren't legal here (I was actually surprised to see green anacondas in the reptile store we visited last week! :rolleyes: ) so a lot of it is foreign to me.

Something like what Mr. Lang described, and 8X4 foot enclosure. I will post pictures once I get it built!

Looking forward to those pictures too! My dad had a turtle pond when I was a kid. One of my "jobs" as a youngster was to get in the sludge and help him clean it. That was fun! lol

Also, Mr. Lang, what size was yours? Right now I'm feeding them crickets and rosy minnows. I suppose they are large enough to eat pinky mice but they would make a complete mess in the tank eating them.

8x4 seems small. Don't the males get over 10' ?

They do, but this should last until they are 4' long or so.
