    Never had one as a pet, but there used to be a 12ft gator that would sun on my dads deck everyday. We used to take our folding chairs and a six pack out there and hang out and drink with him. He was a chill guy, didn’t mind us being there at all lol. I think he might’ve liked the company even

    I'm glad he's so responsible with his gator. Im sure he is very tame, but the fact he tapes the mouth in public is really responsible of him.

      @@bromaro true, but I like to look at things on both sides but i can see the concerns for that as well. However all animals will have some sort of stress being out in public. If a dog is agressive a muzzle is used in public. You can't train a dog not to be agressive if they aren't out to train. Much like a gator can't get used to people if not out in public.

      that's real trust right there and proof that almost any animal can be domesticated over time when raised by humans as babies. imagine is this caiman had offspring and people took care of the offspring like this and then that one has offspring and repeat....then you have a fully domesticated caiman breed just like a dog or a cat.
