Celebrating our Pet Alligator's 37th Birthday!

We have had Rex, our American Alligator, for 10 years!!! Can you believe it?! We've come such a long way with her! Today, we celebrate this anniversary by touching-up Rex's enclosure, giving her a special treat, and strapping a GoPro to her back to see what shenanigans she gets into XD

you could tape a square on the floor in front of her enclosure the size of her old box, people could stand inside and see how small it was and compare it to her current size.

Yeah, a full grown alligator twice or thrice the size of Rex would be unruly

[@junbh2]

I'm impressed by Emily's diplomacy convincing Rex's original owner to find a way to improve her living conditions. You can see why she's such a good educator.

[@gardensalad7169]

They’ve always said that he really loved her, it was probably a pretty easy decision for him to decide that he wanted better for her and that would more than likely be without him when Emily kept telling him that he could and should do better, probably figured they could do a better job than he could and was since they already seemed to know more than he did

[@TehBuggy]

I’d love to hear more details on how she approached explaining it to him. I have experience (unfortunately) dealing with bad owners who neglect their pets because they don’t care. But when they love them and are just uneducated or ignorant, I don’t know how to approach it. It’d be interesting to hear.

[@selanryn5849]

Yeah... I would have been on the phone with animal control the day I found out about her, getting her tf out of there immediately. Eff diplomacy, I'm not Minnesota nice.

[@FoxNimbus]

Same! I love that she isn't hostile or shaming, she just worked in Rex's best interests.

[@khills]

@@selanryn5849 It’s possible that might not have been in Rex’s best interests, depending. Some animal controls don’t have the capacity to handle a reptile like Rex, even at her much smaller size, and it’s possible it would have been a death sentence. And I can’t remember if they’ve ever said if they needed a permit to own her, but if they do and her former owner didn’t have one, reporting about Rex could have impacted not only her relationship with the former owner, but all of his other animals.

[@Jessica-ov4dj]

A lot of YT'ers get exotic animals for the wrong reasons. The fact that you rescued Rex from a bad situation, and did so even before you started YT, is proof that you do it for the right reasons. Hope she had a happy birthday, and many more! She's lucky to have found such a good home.

I am genuinely impressed that, at the very start of your marriage, you both threw up your hands and said EF it, we’re getting a Rex. Just knowing what I do about how marriages change over time (having just celebrated our ten year anniversary, and 12 years together in November), that was a huge thing to bring into your relationship. Kudos to you both.

[@mimisezlol]

Apparently gators are at least as smart as dogs, so it makes sense that she knows her name and is so tolerant of you two; she must know you've helped her.

[@user-st7qh2bn3j]

My heart hurts when you describe Rex’s 27 years of deprivation. Currently there’s an alligator loose in one of the Great Lakes, obviously a dumped pet. I hope a rehab facility will catch it before the weather turns cold. I could list instances where a dumped animal did not survive. Because of this channel, I know that alligators like to have their head scratched, love to play, and smile after eating something they especially like. You and Rex are changing the world by teaching us to love these animals.

[@danielles3841]

It's around Erie, PA last time I've heard of it

[@StonedtotheBones13]

Never thought I'd be here crying over an alligator who's almost a decade older than me but here we are. She's so small in the pics- like the size of a normal yearling gator maybe 😢 And now Emily can't even fit one hand around her neck 🥲

You should build a replica of Rex's original box to show people and educate them on reptile care.

[@laurenhenry5671]

[@dreamincolor14]

Rex looks so much bigger in her enclosure and then you hold her in your lap and she looks so little and cute and it's so sad that she's so little because of the way she was kept and lived for so long. Like she's so stunted that her painting on the wall is actually life-size. I'm so happy that you guys have given her such a good life

[@patriciaolds7675]

Rex was the highlight of my visit on May 17th (minus staff bringing out a lavender hognose for me to pet, of which they deserve the world for giving me that experience). She kept trying to climb the branch-log-thing in her pool and failing and it was adorable. She seemed so happy!

One amazing thing I've learned from Rex in how resilient animals are, especially reptiles. I remember the early Rex videos where she was able to go under water for longer and longer periods. And then the MANY fixes y'all had to make to that room! lol Cheers, Rex! I'm sorry your beginning wasn't as bright as it should have been, but it's been a pleasure to see you heal and grow.

[@ChronicRapunzel]

Rex was always keeping them on their toes! I loved hearing the crazy shenanigans going on as they learned about caring for an alligator.

[@Hi-xi3bu]

I remember those days haha I remember when they were talking about taking her to the zoo and actually making the zoo

[@Brion57042]

Regarding the resilience of crocodiles and alligators - Clint's Reptiles once did a vid scoring each of the 7 main groups of reptiles and how well they 'keep' as pets. These guys ranked last or second-to in every category except "Will you accidentally kill this pet?", which they scored highest marks on, with a flat 'No." from Clint.

[@katieweeman5007]

Hearing Rex’s story melts my heart every time you tell it. Question: does her original owner know of her current condition, that she improved so much and is now a bit of a celebrity?

[@lindsayburrett4216]

Rex is the goodest girl. I remember when you found she was a she and not a he and switching to buying her pink pools instead of blue. She has come so far and I am so thankful that you took her in and got her healthy. She probably wouldn’t have made it this long without you. ❤

Rex was the reason I started watching this channel. One of your videos about her popped up in my recommended years ago. I clicked on it expecting to be irritated at someone irresponsible enough to be keeping an alligator as a pet. Instead I was pleasantly surprised that the entire video emphasized how it was not a good idea to get an alligator for a pet and how much work it was. I knew right away from that that you guys were a good channel that was serious about taking care of your animals well and doing education. I've been watching ever since. ^^ I just looked back and that video was from 5 years ago! I can't believe it's been that long.

Whoa, I did not realize it's been so long! I've been watching you guys ever since the Rex room in your house and when you still thought she was a boy! Those were the days. It's incredible watching you grow from taking care of all these reptiles in your own home just the two of you, to finally moving into a facility and becoming a full-fledged zoo and wildlife conservation center with employees to help you out. I'm so proud and thrilled to have seen your progress for so long!

[@hawaiilifeinseattle]

As a toddler my son was obsessed with watching the video you made about taking care of Rex (back when you still thought she was a boy!) He would laugh so hard when you’d be brushing her in the bath with the toothbrush and brushing her teeth, he absolutely loved it. I can almost recite the entire video. 😅 He’s now 9 and we just got a crested gecko as a family last week, our first reptile! Thank you Rex (and Ed and Emily) for unlocking that part of us that loves reptiles! Happy 37th birthday!! 🎉

[@Tundraviper41]

Rex almost looks similar to a Caimen due to her condition, but she still has the unmistakable alligator head. You guys did such a good job giving her the care she needed and giving her a home where she can live a long happy life.

[@StonedtotheBones13]

She really does look similar to dwarf caiman. And I believe cuvier's tend to keep the stripes too. Not sure about dwarf crocodiles or smooth fronted caiman tho. But I've been wondering if it's just a small crocodilian thing

[@GlaciesYin]

OMG more details on Rex's origin story! Thanks for reminding people again and again that animals can't be kept as pets if people don't or can't afford the right husbandry! It is also insightful (maybe sobering for some) to show us just how much work goes into caring for Rex. This has been a very good video for people to understand and respect animals, instead of seeing them as property or toys to play with and ignore at will.

Is Rex 35 or 37? The title says 35 but Emily said 37. Happy 35th or 37th birthday Rex!!

I'm pretty sure the title is wrong, because Rex turned 35 two years ago, with the meat cake lol.

When I visited last month, I spent most of my time with Rex. She's so gregarious. And it was so sweet to see her come to Emily when she spoke through the little gap in the window. And when the back door opened, Rex flung herself at it so fast! That was impressive and a little startling.

I love this so much. Esp hearing more detail on Rex's origin. She really does look SO tiny in the first pics of her. And man... A litter box taking up part of a 4 ft enclosure... No wonder she didn't grow much 😢 I've said before, but I knew I found my ppl when I heard y'all burned her old enclosure. A new beginning, and tbh a good redirect for any anger... I still feel so sad looking at the marks on the corners from her snoot 😭 The series of mistakes leading to her situation is hard to comprehend, but I'm glad y'all got her out of there. She truly has lived her best life for the past 10 years with you. Even if she communicates displeasure at not sleeping in her room overnight by leaving a poo 😂 Which does kinda show she loves her zoo room 😊 I'm glad she still likes her scratches 😊 Happy Birthday Rexxie! 🎉🐟🎂🐊 (Ps I have heard of an alligator named Saw at Everglades outpost with a similar look and story to Rex; but idk if she's still living there.)

I'm impressed with how big rexy is. This is why I always get the runts of cat litters. They always get huge!

[@infpdreams]

They really do! My cat was the only tabby amongst a bunch of Siamese sisters, so he definitely was a last-minute addition by a different father. We had to wait for him to get big enough to take him home, but got to meet him at his foster family's house in advance, and as soon as they put the food down, he spent ages just eating and eating, long after his sisters were off playing. We should have known he'd always be a big eater! He had a huge appetite, up until the end, when he got a less common expression of hyperthyroidism and stopped eating. It would have been his birthday on the 5th. I miss the "little" guy so much.

Happy for Rex! Sadly so many don't find their deserved forever home. Here in Michigan, there are at least two Alligators on the loose, almost certainly released. If they are not captured in the next month or so, they are almost certainly doomed, so hopefully they will be caught. One is in a river, the other Lake Erie, so in both cases it will be very difficult to find and capture them.
