I’m sure no where else except Gatorland and Zoos worldwide.Gators and caimans would be bad pets anyway because when they get too big they will need more space and food and they could maybe eat housepets and small people. It’s a very bad idea to keep one as a pet.It is illegal to keep them as pet except in Zoos and parks and national parks and preserves.

I saw someone in NY has them. He wants to sell me a caiman pair but not sure if I want to take it since I am in NJ. Also I heard that you can keep a crock in middle philidelphia. My ex G/f has a pair in louisiana and I would guess that if you live in FL you could keep them as they are almost in anyones backyard with a pool. Just have to make sure you have a secure enough cage so they cant get out.

Not true, they are legal in several states but banned on several as well. They make good pets for people who can give them the space and treatment they need. They make horrible pets for stupid people who get one on impulse with no future plans of actually caring for one for the long haul.......

They are legal in Oregon. I walked into a pet store and I saw two or three baby alligators in a tank one time. I’m not sure about other states though.

They are legal in Pennsylvania. Its a great state for reptile lovers because there are no regulations on Non-native reptiles! (unless they are poisonous).
