Well, I'm glad to hear he is in a good foster situation. I can't imagine anyone trying to deal with a full grown adult if that person wasn't living in at least a sub-tropical climate where the animal could be kept outdoors.

Minneapolis?? WHAT was the original owner thinking?

For those who like the gators and crocs, Brian Barczyk (spell??) has a good Snakebytes Youtube where he visits a guy with an outdoor sanctuary. Gaitors and crocs from the Nile, and Cuba...one albino gator and two albino babies...etc. Possibly his best show. Sorry, if interested, you'll just have to click around to find it; can't remember specifics - I watch those things by the dozen.
