Wil the babies nip yer fingers and would that hurt? like a puppies teeth?

@o0KillerCoconuts0o According to the people that run the hatchery, this is the only time that they won't bite. A day or so later, they can bite but it doesn't hurt.

can they be bought?

@djoreo214 It's illegal to own American alligators as pets unless you have the proper permits to own one. Permits can vary depending on where you live.

What a wonderful experience!

Thanks for sharing it.

They hatch every August and for an extra fee, they can reserve an egg for you. My friend and I each had an egg but the slimy mess that comes out with the baby prompted me to film his egg before I hatched mine. After all, who wants gator goo all over your brand new digital camera? LOL.
