  • I recently bought a 40 acre property near Ocala and will be moving up to start a new sanctuary there! So what will happen to all the gators I’ve been working with in South Florida, will I be able to take any of them with me?  Watch and find out! This is filmed at Everglades outpost with Casper the alligator, who I run my underwater Gator Tour ‘s with, come join a tour with us!

    Chris I’m SO SO happy for you. Although I’m sure everyone will miss Snoopy and Seven and Casper etc., you are going to be able to help sooo many more amazing animals!!! And these animals will be YOURS and people will get to know and love them as well.

    It is fabulous. I just think that Casper's personality fits you well. It is a shame that you can't take him. It is good to see another rescue open up. 😊❤💖🥰💯🐊

    People are weird about change, I'm sorry they're giving you such a hard time. I'm super excited for your next chapter, I can't wait to see how you set everything up around the property and watch you train all the new gators and crocs! I'm also curious see what kind of wildlife you'll see at your place. This is just a really cool adventure for you and Gabby and I'm happy for you both!💚

    Some of the comments you’ve received are completely out of line and I’m so sorry for some people’s reactions. This is an incredibly exciting new step for you and Gabby and the vast, vast majority of us are SO excited to see you build your own sanctuary - and I can’t wait to discover the new alligators and crocs which will end up living there!
    Please consider doing some vlog-type videos of your progress with the new property!

    It brings me deep joy to know that 40 acres of gorgeous land will be dedicated to animal rescue and wildlife conservation. Thank you so much. I'm not particularly excitable, but I'm already giddy to see the sanctuary as you grow it. You are appreciated DEEPLY by so many of us who aren't dedicating their lives to saving animals yet still want the best for them & also wish to learn about them so that we ourselves can do better on behalf of both domestic and wild animals. I'd like to think the reason there haven't been a greater proportion of positive comments is that it's so obviously amazing to most people that they don't feel the need to say it. 😄 I'm glad you made this video. You communicated the message very clearly (as usual) so I hope it's more positive and good vibes in the comments going forward!

    I don’t see it as abandoning I see this as an opportunity to save other alligators. Casper and Co are in good care, the alligators coming to your sanctuary will also be in good care. This is a win in my book.

    That's amazing that crocs and alligators will remember someone after not seeing them for a significant time. I suppose it's not surprising in a way, given that other animals will remember people too, but it's not something I had ever considered. I wonder what it is that they recognise - site, voice or smell. Maybe it's all three 🤔. Casper is a cool alligator and actually relaxing to watch as he floats about. Sorry you won't be seeing as much of each other but I hope things go well with your move and your future endeavours 😊

So many animals will have a comfortable safe place to live and so many lives will be saved. I’m really looking forward to seeing it all come together. This is growth. Some hard choices have to be made for a greater good sometimes. I wish you guys all the success!🎉

    It’s so weird how people online who watch your videos believe that this gives them some kind of ownership of your life. Some believe that from watching your videos they now know the animals’ nature and needs better than you do. It’s really sort of nuts and quite rude. Congratulations on your new place and I am excited to see how you and Gabby grow along with it. Best wishes!

I have learned so much about these beautiful animals through your videos. I wish you all the best with your new sanctuary, and cannot wait to see your new rescues in the future! I love the names they are given, and i hope to see more of your training videos at your new home! Congrats on following your dreams! Everyone has the right to a life of their own. Dont listen to the haters, you are a beautiful person, and with your new sanctuary, your giving future and life to new nuisance aligators that would otherwise be destroyed. Im sure casper and all the others will be just fine! I will miss Seven the most, hes such a handsome fellow! Take care, be safe on those long drives, and heres to a bright new future! Love ya!

    You have a great future though and near Ocala on wildwood there’s a gator farm for wayward gators of the villages where I live, and the area. Making your own park is a great idea! We appreciate your teaching! So many people from up north don’t know how to act or treat gators in FL and your positive influence is amazing! I am excited for you! 😃
