There's actually quite a few captive breeders of American alligators in the US. Captive breeders produce around 20,000 annually. They were probably born in September, which is typical for crocodilians. Our CBB Morelet's crocodiles were born September 23rd of last year. They look great! Some are alot more defensive than others. They all have different personalities for sure!
That’s what we are going with for when they were born. They are definitely healthy and growing fast, won’t be long before they outgrow their current enclosure. I am sure I thought I mentioned in the video that captive breeding has been done. But information is extremely limited and as far as I know, no one is making documented videos of captive alligator breeding or raising. Though again, I could be missing it. Either way, our mission stays the same and it never hurts to have more positivity and light shined on the crocodilian family.
Great video! Was just referring to the beginning of the video where you said "no American alligators are captive bred that you're aware of ". Definitely could use more positivity around and about crocodillians for sure! I agree on that completely!

Subscribed as well! Nice to see baby alligators being kept with proper space and care!
Appreciate it!
Absolutely, no shoe box enclosures here.
@RivenwoodFarms you're welcome! Definitely starting them off right!
