hey, so i recently had to find a new home for a nile monitor i had, and someone offered to trade me a three foot "tame" american alligator. He had it in a 30 gallon that it touched nose to tail, but would let it wander the house a lot

suprisingly to me the alligator is actually very calm and really seems to like having an enclosure he can turn around and really move in.

my question is, I dont think it has ever had a heat lamp on it. Does anyone know if it will become more aggressive as I heat him up?

When I let him out he follows me around the house and wont leave my side and even lets the cat sit with him.
