Growing up in Idaho there would sometimes be baby alligators for sale during fairs, like the area with prize livestock and the petting zoo and all that. They'd keep them in those small plastic pools and put rubber bands on their mouths. We got to play with them. I'm sure it was all very legal and safe and the alligators definitely weren't super stressed

Wyoming needs to take a side

Alaska is taking the piss! Did they actually vote a law allowing it? It would have been a funny session.

"And what about subtropical reptiles, should we allow them? Alive or dead? Though that makes no difference"

I lived in PA for 16 years, and I could have had a crocodile that entire time‽‽

sob

I swear I remember pet stores selling baby alligators when I was a kid. I tried googling the history of this, but got few results outside Leave it to Beaver ordering one through the mail in the fifties which was apparently a thing.

Wyoming having "no info" is another example of why there shouldn't be 2 senators per state.

I knew an alligator criminal. It was probably for the best that the alligator died before it got too big.

Still waiting for the day that I can have a beaver or otter as a pet in my state, but we're particular about not having them as pets because we can't give them a proper living environment.

Ugh...

Betty White grew crocodiles in Maine and we all knew how that turned out.
