[ChuckyFTW431]

that is a sweet story, RESPEKT may your sould rest in peace in heaven!!!

[patterbull]

No youre stupid , that is a Burmese Python NOT a redtail Boa you dork !!

[linkavitchC]

@patterbull kinda looks like a reticulated python, but havent been into snakes in years, of course its not a redtail tho- dunno if its a burmese or retic

[ralphyization]

I'm not judging here, but what about the alligator? Where does he go now? The wild, where he belongs?

[Dudeguy785]

@ralphyization They clearly say he's at an animal park.

And no, he doesn't belong in the wild. He's lived in captivity way too long, he would last a month in the wild.

[ralphyization]

@Dudeguy785 Sorry Dude, I clearly missed the fact that the animal was from a park. That makes the situation WAY better! A hundred years ago, where would that animal have belonged?? DUH!! Are you saying animals BELONG in parks???

[MoreLikeCappuccino]

@ralphyization watch and listen to the video

[epituchano]

Um, alligators are _wild animals_ with extremely powerful jaws. I don't care if you raise one up from a baby. They are NOT domesticated. Cats and dogs have lived alongside humans from before recorded history. Dogs and cats are hardwired to be your friend. Albert could go whack at any time and bite someone's leg off. Do you think homeowners in Florida feel safe when gators wander onto their property?

Leave Albert in his happy Everglades home or visit him at the zoo.

[kinglythief]

i love this guy r.i.p

[mkassa1990]

that bitch is stupid that is a fucking red tail boa i should know i own two and two alligators

[linkavitchC]

@mkassa1990 lol not a redtail boa moron

[FrenchBulldogWinston]

12 feet, 12 people, 12 hours lol

[STUDMANLAWRENCE69]

about time the media didnt bash all over a reptile owner... guess there is hope in this world

[haloavenger]

this man's got taste for pets

[VongolaBrat]

my respect for you, you kept the gator healthy and alive for 43 years i bet the gator was happy and never regret a single day living with you thats why he's gentle and respects humans

[DragoDillPepper]

her last name is guy lol.

[Timothy2035]

I like alligators, but I don't know about owning them as a pet. LOL! It wouldn't be the best thing in the world to do. Though hey its nice to hear the gator was friendly to those people and its owner.

[yoking456]

i like owners like this who actually realize what they are getting themselves into and are responsible and take care of and love there animals.

[mmmmmarcus]

Thats crazy man, that alligator obviously viewed him as a friend.  You would think hunger would strike and the gator would go nuts at the scent of blood. But the truth is, alligators are actually quite affectionate.

[Alterofsacrafice]

That is one badass macho gator, here's to another 45 years Albert !

[ruckaisawesome]

how can anyone kill themself by accident with a chainsaw??

[OoShinkooO]

@ruckaisawesome ah cho (and that was all she wrote)

[oney135]

@ruckaisawesome you can fall on it or it can buck back and cut you up or cut off your leg or arm and if you tear through an artery you prob don't have enough time to wrap somthing around it before you lose to much blood or he might have miss judged the direction the tree or branch was going to fall and it landed on him

[takeyourbrainchipp]

dinosaur

[SilenTBitcH]

"on 3, 1, 2" lol..

[afnedlrleewr]

she said burmese wierd

[ttfbb716]

This guy is my hero...apparently he took real good care of his reptiles and none of them touched his dead body...especially a gator...to tame those creatures he is a great man

[BLIX5445]

This guy obviously loved his pet. Its not sick or being mistreated. Its a big healthy alligator and he had it legally. This guy has done nothing wrong except not know how to properly use a chainsaw. I tip my hat to you good sir and may you rest in pieces.

[BitisNajaLover]

@BLIX5445 very nice word choice my friend, haha. this guy seemed to be one of the few people who can have these now

[BLIX5445]

@BitisNajaLover lol thanks man

[azguy18]

A word of advice for all you guys with pet alligators; BE CAREFUL...

...with chainsaws.

[gbatemper123]

lollolololol....... No seriously, becareful with chainsaws.

[moatboat]

Also, the people I was refering to are those that buy gators because they think it's the "cool" or "macho" thing to do. Like the dipshits that get a python, showing it off like jewelry until it gets too big for them to handle. All it took were a few of them being turned loose in the Everglades & now the states talking of putting a bounty on them. Estimates are close to 100,000 of them are roaming free all the way up to the Sarasota & Tampa Bay area.

All it takes is a few...

[afnedlrleewr]

FUCK YOU

[S0XF0X]

Nevermind the hurricanes that let loose several hundred of these snakes as well. Not all people who get large snakes are trying to be cool or macho. We just love our big snakes! I do agree that there are those flaming idiots that shouldn't have them (or any other pet really), and they're the ones who should be scrutinized, not us responsible owners who have kept large snakes for years without a problem.

[moatboat]

Aga: So what do they do these caring owners do with them when their gators get bigger than 10 , 12, 14 ft.? Don't compare your caimans to gators; caimans don't grow to 16+ ft. nor have they eaten humans.

[esb84]

Yeah they do, the Black Caiman of S. America can grow to be 16 ft. and is far more agressive than the American Alligator. They have been known to eat people, but they are severly threatened so attacks nowadays would be very uncommon.

[moatboat]

True that, minisquirrel! Gators don't become dangerous until they lose their fear of humans. Sadly, all the people who think its "cool" to own a gator will eventually get tired of it and turn it lose. when they do somebody's gonna get attacked, probably a child.

[Armygunnerash]

Your an idiot. Most of the people that own alligators would never even think of turning one lose. I have 3 spectacled caimans and associate with more exotic reptile owners than you could imagine. Most people aren't stupid with these animals, they don't "tire" of them and believe me, if one ever did, there are 3 more willing to pay a royally impressive price for it.

[afnedlrleewr]

thats not true not all people only fuckheads like you

[h00bIah]

sounded like the dude who got chainsaw'd took great care of his reptiles =D RIP

[minisquirrel]

I knew that gators don't all have to be vicious. I like gators a lot, but I would still be careful and stay away from them. To me they're better watched from afar.
