I used to have an Alligator quite a few years back.I really liked her her name was precious
I only kept her till she attained about 4 feet the my boss bought her from me.It was kind of dumb for me to get her but I was only 19 or 20 and it seemed like a great Idea @ the time.Looking back on it I really didnt have the resources to care for such an animal.I could give you a little first hand advice but thats about it.Handle your gator from a young age and attemp to train it on a nutritionally sound non live diet such fish pellets.This will reduce the gator live feeding response and help you aquire a docile gator.As for care I'm sure if you looked for care sheets online you would be able to find one for a Specticled Caimen since they have essentially the same care I would use that sheet as a refrence.Care in pretty easy Keep you gator well fed,clean water,basking spot, use caution and good judgment and you should have a great pet for many years to come
