Alligators temperment

[chas*e]

I have 1.1 American Alligators(A. M.) and I tell ya..These little guys are too funny...bark like dogs(ally bark/grunt) when I come in the room..jump and swim round when they are excited, eat from my hand(for now.lol) and are smart as whips....I was feeding them and I closed the enclosure front to get more food and when I turned back around the male had pushed he slider open and barked at me while standing on his tail and holding on to the enclosure lip..it was amazing...needless to say, I will be changing the enclosure front sliders.
Just had to share
