What it's Like to Have a Pet Alligator (2019 Edition)

In today's video we show you a glimpse of our life with a pet alligator! They're messy, occasionally smelly, always hungry, and full of sass (er- "personality"). Despite being a diva, Rex is a beloved family member of ours! Watch how we clean her room, wash her in the bathtub, feed her, and more!
Rex's story (in a nutshell):
Rex is a rescued American alligator. Her previous owner loved her, but wasn't taught how to correctly care for such a large species of reptile. As a result, she was kept in a 4-foot wooden box for 27 years of her life and is severely stunted. We adopted her in 2014, and now she lives in a renovated guest bedroom of our house! For now, anyway. We have bigger plans for her environment coming in 2020 (but we can't spill the beans yet!).

It's kinda weird to call rex a "pet" when she is obviously your queen and you, her subject. You clean her poo, after all.

I love that she's hissing at the start, it's like she's thinking "Oh, heck! They gonna come in here, drag me out and clean up my mess! I LIKE my mess! It's organised chaos!"

Last time I was this early, Rex was still a boy.

Rex is adorable. She takes a tremendous amount of cleaning and her habitat is a full time job.

[@ZoeBellCake]

I forget sometimes just how little Rex is. Her personality is off the charts so I keep thinking she's much better than she is XD

[@aestheticberry3421]

Imagine someone breaking in to that house and seeing a whole alligator hissing “Got any food?”

[@Zeldur]

Ok, potentially getting a rex tooth is a great incentive for patreon

[@atchanih]

Conclusion: caring for alligator is exhausting..

[@zoelucas1423]

At this rate, soon they are going to have like 7 pools stacked together XD

I love Emily just calmly standing there with an angry hissing alligator coming at her.

[@JawsGojira]

Robbers breaking into their house

[@Amaya_Doll04]

You guys being good gator parents: We're going to clean the enclosure and fix everything so Rex can have a happy healthy life in her enclosure because we love her

[@rafiabinterouf]

Snake discovery: hi guys today we are here in rex's room

[@i_think_i_am_lost]

Emily: "Rex destroyed her room."

[@lubearypie]

I just love what a good life Rex has now, especially after being trapped in a box for 27 years! I haven't even been alive that long, poor lil girl.
