Re: Thinking about buying a Caiman Alligator [Re: TODAY]
    #4035475 -


I have owned both Gators and Camian. If you have not experiance with animals like this you should stick with the gator. They are know to be much more docile then the Camian.
If you pay $250.00 for that animal you and the gator are both being exploited. Babies sell for $50.00. You should be able to get a three or four footer for $100.00-$150.00

I have a 4.5 foot hand raized female gator. She is as tame as they can get. I would take a gator over a fuckin dog or cat anyday.

Let me know if you really want a gator.

I was waiting for you to hop in criket, I remembered someone from here having gators... Are they really that docile? I was curious as to what could you do... can you caress them and such?

This kinda thing was big in the sixties....somebody geting a small pet gator only to flsuh it own the toilet when it got too big.----the whole alligators in the NY sewers rumors--perhaps fact---erupted from this. Do watever you want, but atleast try and release it in the Everglades or somethin. And prepare to spend more than $250. They eat raw meat nad its not sold in Pet shops. Even Python food gets pretty expensive. A friend of mine had one in his college dorm in a kiddy pool and broke some kinda deal with a butcher and scraps he would usually throw away. Other than that, Walmart Chicken in the best route you can go down.

Mine will hiss, grunt, and run AWAY FROM you if you chase it around the cage. Once you have her out she calms right down. I can carry her around all day if I wanted. When she is out of her cage you can pet her all you want, she likes to have the underside of her neck rubbed. If you try to reach into the cage to pet her, she will run to the far corner or sink into here pond.
Mine has been hand raised from a baby. Most of the handling is done by my kids, nine and eleven years old. My oldest son can get her out of the cage himself.
She has a harness and leash. It is easy to get it on her but she does not walk like a dog. The leash is more to keep her from running off.

I keep her in my living room. she has a 7.5 x 8 foot pen in the corner with a plastic pond insert from wall-mart in it. I made a filter out of a small pump, a 3 gallon bucket, a coffee can and some poly-fill with rocks as ballast. The filter will keep the water clean 1-2 months. After that I dump the poly and reload. The water can get a little smelly after after a 4-6 months. I just siphon it out the window into a flower bed, and refill with a garden hose.
She will eat fish, frogs, rats, anything that will fit in her mouth. I usually feed her chicken wings, 3-4 a week, and a hand full of carnivorous fish food pellets every day. Fish pellets came from a feed and grain store. They are easy-er to find now that backyard ponds are getting popular. You should ocasionally offer whole foods for a ballanced diet. (rats, chicks, fish) stay away from gold fish, they are very fatty and bad for the health of the animal over time. Hair, feathers, and scales= clean digestive tract.
DO NOT FEED YOUR PET GATOR BY HAND.
It will start to think of your hand as a food source. Bad idea for a pet like this. Leave the food on land or use a feeding stick.
The legends of gators are partially true. They have found gators in sewers, ponds, rivers, around the country. They were released by assholes that have no business owning an animal like that in the first place. If you flush a gator you will probably kill the animal and plug your pipes. Gators that have been dumped into storm drains will soon starve to death or die from health problems from the lack of UV light.
DO NOT RELEASE PET GATORS INTO THE WILD.
Pet alligators do not know how to hunt, or excape pedation in the wild,. They have little or no fear of humans. They will normally be killed or captured. Most are killed after they are captured.
There is plenty of places to send pet gators that get to big or aggressive to keep as a pet. Hell, I'll take them.
Remember this animal can get 9-13 feet long and will eventually eat allot. They can also live longer then many humans. Be prepared to keep if for life, or find it "back up home" before you bring it into yours.

PM me if you are really interested in getting a gator. I can help you find good prices, and offer advise on keeping and handling.
They are one of the most rewarding pets I have ever owned. (And I have owned many different animals) They are much cleaner, lower maintenance then a dog or cat. Less hair, noise, shit, and trouble then mammals.

I will try to post some photos soon.

Well?
Did you get the little monster?
Do you still have all your fingers?
Did you have to sell your computer to buy food for the beast?
I hope you're not in trouble for trying to export an alligator out of Texas. I know they have some pretty strange rules when it comes to what animals can be owned, who can own then, and weather they can be sold to out of state buyers or not.

interesting, i didnt even know people had gators as pets. i thought they'd be pretty dangerous. this is because they're raised in this particular environment as opposed to living in the wild or what? cus i was sure that gators or crocs would fuckin eat me or something if i ever got too close to one.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein

I remember buying one of those in the early 70's. Paid $12.00 for it. It ended up dying, not sure why. I think I've seen this listed some place for like $70.00. I thought it was kinda a boring pet.
