My alligator is housed in an enclosure in my reptile room. It is 8" of water, submersible filter that serves as a chew toy, with a platform that serves as a basking area and a hiding area. The platform is made of plastic that looks like wood and is built like a table.

Living in FL, heating the water is never really a concern. Room temp is 80 in the summer, never dropping below 68 in the winter. He has a mercury vapor light for basking which also heats the water.
