How I Ended Up With Two Pet Alligators!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 พ.ค. 2024
- It's one of the number one questions I get asked about Soni and Chompers my two American Alligators: How did I end up with pet alligators in the first place? For the first time EVER, I do a complete backstory on Soni and Chompers and how I ended rescuing them and giving them a forever home. I share never-before-seen footage of the early days and how I used house them. From stock tanks, to custom built enclosures, to revamping an old hot tub out our back deck, see where the alligators used to live before the Alligator House. I also share footage of how we moved the alligators into their new homes with clips that have never been shared until NOW! Make sure to watch until the very end because I have a VERY EXCITING announcement!!! Thanks for watching this alligator video!!!!

Little baby Chompers!! 🥰
That footage of her coming out of the pillow case!!!! ❤️
@@corbinmaxey i love how she went back in because she was scared
I love that he took an opportunity to kiss his alligators while they were capture them and their month were shut, can’t deny, he loves his kid so much 💌🌷
losing it over soni being transported in the backhoe 😂😂
Or by being wrapped in an old trampoline 🤦♂️
@@corbinmaxey 🤣🤣
Im soo excited for the alligator's wedding!! Who's with me?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Me 😂😂😂. Can't wait to see the video ❤
Me!!! ❤❤❤
Corbin, are you going to walk Chompers down the aisle? 😉
Yes, yes, yes
You can definitely say these gators are very loved. Love how you baby the kids! Just remember these guys will out live you. Lol
they're our family!
@@corbinmaxey o0o :)
They are so cute especially as babies! ❤🎉
Rights? So cute!
Corbin, what an awesome video. Glad to see the journey with Soni and Chompers. I have to admit I’m jealous that you got to kiss both of them. You’ve done an amazing job and I’m so glad you were able to rescue them and save them from a terrible fate. Keep up the good work. Hugs from Tennessee. 💕🐊
I'm jealous I can't kiss them anymore 😂 So happy you enjoyed watching this backstory on Soni and Chompers! A lot of people ask how I rescued them so I figured this would be a great video idea! thanks for watching all the way from Tennessee!
@@corbinmaxey Maybe Mike from Gatorland can teach you how to kiss Soni and Chompers. He gives Sultan chin scratches and then gives him a kiss on the nose. It’s so adorable. Btw, I saw a car in the Smoky Mountains with an Idaho license plate. I thought I wonder if they know Corbin? 😊
HEY! I booped the target, where's MY treat!
I'm still in awe of how easily Soni's tail was almost knocking out Robert!
Oh my baby gators Corbin?! They are the cutest babies ever! I love watching your videos. There is always something new to learn! Would love to learn more about the training you are doing with them! That's so cool! 🐊❤️🐊
Yes! This was the first time we introduced the targets! I promise to do training updates 😊
@@corbinmaxey thank you! I am looking forward to it!
Two lovebirds well in this case lovegators 😊
Lol yes! We are so happy they're getting along so well!
@@corbinmaxey Corbin you need to give them a wedding feast or party soon
@@I_DrawOrMake_Random_Stufflol😂
Such a great and fun video. It showed how fast the gators grew through the years.🐊❤️🐊
So happy you liked the flashbacks!!!
What a journey! Corbin, your love and dedication to your amazing animals had me tearing up 🥲🎉 I’m so glad Soni and Chompers get to have this beautiful life together ❤
this is one of the nicest compliments!!!! Thank you for making my evening and caring about our animals so much!
This is the only marriage I want to go to. Hope you have a great marriage
Sony and Chopmers🎉🎉🎉
It's really cool seeing the support your family gave you in this. Your parents are pretty special to be willing to do this with you for so many years. A lot of parents wouldn't, creating those situations where well-meaning teens end up with malnourished, poorly cared for pets. This was so heart-warming!
MAN, I’VE BEEN MISSING YOUR VIDEOS ON TH-cam IN JUST BEEN REWATCHING OLD VIDEOS😢❤
same
I post a new Shorts every day!
@@corbinmaxey shorts are short we need longer vids , but it whould work as vids i guess
@@corbinmaxeyr u sure🤨
@@notpegamerBe great full he has videos✋😂
It's amazing how you're coming up to 5 mill subscribers!! And just for youtube!! Great job!!!!
It’s so surreal! So much hard work went into this! Means the world to me!
Loved seeing the back story of how you got Soni and Chompers and their homes before the gator house!
Yes! I really liked doing a video about this because honestly, so much of the footage I had was lost until now! So happy!
That is such a beautiful story and they got lucky with a wonderful life
So happy you liked the backstory!!!!
Hey Corbin! I'm definitely invited to their wedding,Right😂
Lol 😂 You are all invited to watch the wedding premiere!
@@corbinmaxey thanks😂
This is my favorite video of yours so far! Loved looking back from beginning with them to now, very cool
Honestly, this comment just made my morning! Thank you!!!
My guy trains his alligators like puppies 😂😂😂
It's very similar!
Ты, и вся твоя семья, супер молодцы!💞💞💞💞💞
Thanks for watching!!!!
Hi
I came across your videos on Facebook a while back and now I’m so invested! Seriously those gators are very well taken care of and they forever will be your babies (also note so will all of your other animals)
Loved it! Soni does so well! So cool to see their history! 🦎🦎
So happy you liked the flashbacks! I loved sharing all this never before seen footage!
Baby chompers is so cute..❤❤❤❤
Hi Corbin! I have been following your page for a while now and after watching your video of when you first began your journey with Chompers and Soni and oh my goodness I sure do admire and respect your love for all your Critters!! I appreciate your videos to the fullest!! 😊👍🏼 🐢🐍🦎🐊🐊🦖🦕
LESS GOO ALLIGATOR WEDDING CONFIRMED GUYS!!!!!!! Hope you guys are excited for that
Napoleon must have shared some insider info 🤔
Hi
This was so interesting to see!
Both of them are in good hands and were rescued by a man who loves them and takes care! ❤️ greetings from Germany 🐊🐊
I didn't know they were both so little when you got them. Such a great story. Your parents seem to have always been so supportive. Wonderful. Soni and Chompers moved into together before marriage scandalous!😂 I guess needed to see if it was gonna work out first in their case. Sense Soni could've literally ate Chompers but it was love.
Its so crazy to think that they can be so small as babies but get so huge its crazy
Have been watching for 3 years or 4yrs😊 wait a minute I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU FOR 5 YRS
Great video! So happy to see them together and in such a wonderful enclosure 😊💜
when I watched this video, Steve Irwin immediately came into my mind. That guy is great, such a legend.
I remember watching u on the tonight show!! Congratulations on following ur dreams working with all of ur animals!!
You're awesome! And your parents are really awesome for allowing you to follow your dreams
I love the love you show this wonderful species.
You should bring Robert back again and show him how much they have grown
Mr. Oberst is welcome any time!
Your parents are amazing
Shere Khan and Buddy’s home went like Soni, Chompers, then The two snakes!
May I be a flower girl at Soni and Chompers wedding? 💒 🐊 💖🐊💖
Soni is catching on quick 🎉
Wow! Amazing! We see so many of these gators in FL. I'm fascinated by them! Thanks for sharing your videos. You're awesome to adopt and care for them. So cute-- they're getting married....👏 I hope they will live happily ever after! You should give them a couples name like Chony. 😁
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story ❤
I've been watching your videos, started from TH-cam shorts and I love how you take care of your animals
When soni moved I was born into the world at July!!!! :D I know people would say this would be useless but for me NAHHH I WOULD BE LIKE BRO I WON THE LOTTERY 😂
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Your story is very inspiring. I like how you care for your animals. It is interesting.
Now that was a great video :) And awwww.... Tinkerbell 🥰
I love Soni and Chompers!
Cool !They are such a lovely couple 🥰💖🎀
Aren't they the best?!
@@corbinmaxeyYeah Sure They are !!💖 I have Question! What would you do if chompers lay eggs ?
While they may be a bit snappy at times, even if they don’t feel emotion like we do, I bet they feel forever grateful for what you’ve done for them time after time. Stand proud, Corbin.
Also can we call this a celebrity wedding since Soni has been on the news more than once?
Great story, thank you so much for sharing it.
This is so touching, after all, time really does fly when you're having fun
Aww thank you so much for sharing with us ♥️
i had chills when i saw this thumbnail
Oh wow so so cool. Aww tink she is missed. What a wonderful story
You're an inspiration to me!
That means a lot! Thank you!!!
Terrific video! Loved seeing baby Soni & baby Chompers!
You havent aged a day corbin! ❤
That's so sweet of you!
Wonderful story - very very envious that you actually get to live your passion. I do have ideas about videos - basically involving Napoleon and Zoey lol. And the pythons. And the ducks. And that beautiful lizard who was a "Project" last year. And of course. ....
Oh they all deserve their own videos, dont they?
This video was so fascinating!
So exited for this video.. ❤ Glad they are loved and cared for so well.
I love your video and can’t wait till the wedding what is going to be on the gift registry chicken or turkey lol

Nice!! and informative! I see those alligators are very loved!
Loved hearing and seeing the full story! Excited for the wedding
Yes, I was pleased to see this video. Not only seeing them grow up, but you, too.
Now, if you could do a video on each of the other animals? Please.
Especially,Napoleon .
Such a cool story bro. Can't wait to see the upcoming updates about this beautiful couple 😍
Oh there will be updates!!!
Soni loves his new home so many years back soni has changed your life and his own 🥰
I am excited for their soon-to-be-babies. I know it will still be a long way to go, but awee. I am like a proud godmother. Lol. :"
I love the old tinkerbell clips, even if they are short its still nice seeing her again
Soni lived in the back yard, just off the porch, so cool!
I'm a BIG Videogames Nerd, and a big fan of yours. You should totally play Maneater. It's dumb, gamey fun. GOSH been waiting for years for this Sonpers Ship, can't wait. Good luck mate.
Awww! Baby Chompy ❤ Lil Soni is so cute too!
Who else is excited to see this? Can I get pinned im first? Also will you get more alligators since soni and chompers won't mate?
remember me? im from th-cam.com/video/ABV6zs-9LX4/w-d-xo.html
Pin beggar
They probably have mated but there is no room for any more gators. He had mentioned this before. It's already expensive taking care of the 2 of them . I bet he's starting an outdoor pond for both of them. 😊
@@paulapalais that would look very cool!
Hi
omg your alligators looks so cute when they were babys 🤩
I’m really starting to warm up to alligators. But I only like to watch them in videos. I could never be up close and personal to one. ❤🐊. Congratulations to Soni and Chompers on their soon to be wedding 💒
This is such a cool story to tell your future kids😂
SUCH AN AWESOME STORY AND WONDERFUL ANNOUNCEMENT!!! I CAN HEAR THE WEDDING BELLS ALREADY!! ❤
This is so EXCITING for us! We can't wait for the wedding!
Omg I can't wait for them to get married 😮😊❤❤❤
Biggest wedding of the summer!
Love❤ Soni and Chompers!
Ommgggggggg the baby gators are so cute soni and chompers 😍😍 there so adorable when they were younger also older too omg cant wait for the gator wedding excited!! I can do the cake for them 🤣🤣😆 lol xD

@corbinmaxey yeah I was excited to see those I was like shock on how baby chompers was that small also her color was look bit different and was cuteee :D and xD yes the wedding cake is best part :D have good rest of ur night corbin and ur wife :)
So excited
Hope you enjoyed it!
Love baby choppers ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm just amused by your clip of the Jay Leno show...and the reactions of the celebs sharing the stage, :-)
Man I wish I can do that, but at last reptiles are expensive and I'm already using up plenty of electricity with keeping my two reptiles and my mother's basement LOL..... at least she's nice enough to let me keep cockroaches in the basement
You're smart for thinking this way! The Alligators and the electric to keep them comfortable is SO expensive!
Cockroaches?!? Your mom is a saint! 😂
@@JenA2145 yeah I know, she says that I can keep them in there as long as she doesn't see them roaming around the house, I've gotten one or two close calls there. There food for my lizard but still
@@Moulton_Lava please don't let them escape! 😆
Corbin, loved the video!!!
Lol Corbin srry i was late because i was studying But love the sopers couple❤😂🎉
Don't be sorry! You're early!
@@corbinmaxey Thanks❤️😇
And I can't go to ur show because I'm in the Philippines When I found u I was watching u for 2 hours lol😇🤗🤗
Bro this is so cool keep up the good work❤
Thanks! So happy you enjoyed it!
I have been wanting to see what enclosure Soni and Chommpers was in before the alligator house
It's finally here!
Yes I'm excited
Awesome!
They seem very happy. I’d be kind of bummed that they weren’t more sweet to me if I were their owner - but I obviously understand they aren’t warm & fuzzy. I guess they are as warm and fuzzy as they could possibly be for alligators 😂
Loved it❤
Absolutely fantastic and love to see how much they have grown and you have shrunk Corbin 😂 oh & Chompers does does not look ready for an arranged marriage 💒 🐊
Haha 😆 so happy you enjoyed this backstory! Chompers is definitely committed for marriage it’s the cameras that make her nervous!
@@corbinmaxey as always super video & so inspirational for others young & old & a massive credit to you & your family keep it up & looking forward to the next chapter
I didn't realize Aligator house built not long ago 😮
Yes! It was built only 4 years ago!
@@corbinmaxey I not the old subscribers 😅😅😅
Soni really is an animatronic
Ohhh Tinkerbell looking out for Soni... making sure he is ready for the big move❤
And oh my😱😍 Chompers was sooo cute and shy... little girl❤
Btw, the engagement was really broken off? That dude sounds creepy...big red flag giving someone a pet like this when they obviously didn't spoke about reptiles. Or worse they did and he went there anyway. Creepy as in psycho killer kinda creepy
I love this TH-camr!
Thank you!
@@corbinmaxeyYou’re Welcome!
