 And then there was three!!!

I have another recsue coming this week. A 3 foot American Alligator At this rate people in Florida fish and game are going to have to come to me for Gators. LOL If you read this realize that I am not posting to brag but to make everyone see that the cute little Gator you look at and buy because they are cute/cool will become a handful before you know it then you will be looking to move it and that isn’t easy to do. I broke my wrist yesterday so I will not be long winded for a while. I know thank god. LOL I will post pics later this week.

To second the handful I will give you average feeding for those that want one because its cool...this is what ONE of my guys eats at 3feet I have two

I ALWAYS have at least 3 dozen live feeder fish in the pond I use large so its roughly 1-2 bucks a dozen

Fresh crawfish I get wholesale (they LOVE they crustaceans)

During the summertime they get fresh beef, chicken and venison..
look at the meat prices they eat a pound between the pair every 2-3 days during the wintertime usually once a week to a week and a half Diet varies to keep variation

They get live gerbils as well 4bucks a pop 2 a peice as a treat once a week......these are for little guys.....they WILL get bigger heh but Im trying to get one to gain wait due to her past situation. She was bought because she was cool now shes mean...wants to bite and was half starved and stunted.....shes bitten me it hurts.....

Bayou I cant wait and take care of that wrist will you?? hard to tend the rep...OOOOH NEWS!!!!
My sun skink...had 9 babies today itty bitty guys...but cute all are healthy and shes fine...was a shock because when I got her I wasnt expecting it....but sure enough during daily rounds ....I got babies I will SO post pictures soon

and Bayou yes maybe i overfeed my gators but I feed till they are full so I KNOW they wont try and eat me....gators dont founder themselves so they let me know when they are hungry..I have em on a routine just to save ya argument

The gentleman that purchased my big gator was just in a serious car accident and can not purchase him so he will be here for awhile.
