I'm a senior in college and I am in comparative vertebrate anatomy. One of our projects includes dissecting an animal and taking photos of it and making a webpage for that animal. I am a herper through and through. Many students have done snakes and turtles, but there is not one alligator on file. We do not have a complete skeleton...only a few skulls.



I wonder is there anywhere I could purchase an already deceased gator or caiman so that I could use it for my project? I do not want to buy one at a pet store and euthanize it. It is just not in my nature. You can reply here or drop me a line at herplover2@yahoo.com. This project is due in April so the sooner I get it the better.
