i was at a friends house, and one of them informed me that he had just caught a baby alligator. so of course, i was very intrigued, and went over to have a look-see for myself. i was taken just as soon as i saw it, and asked if i could possibly hold it. it was so well-behaved, and only became scared two or three times while i was holding it. i want one now. i have to say  i hate reptiles. they normally disgust me, and id rather not have anything to do with them. but this was just the most darling alligator i have ever seen, so i absolutely HAD to take a picture with it.  isnt it just oh so cute?
