The only way in the State of Florida to posses American Alligator's is for resale. They can not be kept as a pet and you must have a Florida Class III license to exhibit and sell reptiles. All other crocodilian species require the Class II license which is a bit harder to get.

Unfortunatly, only Caimans, Chinese aligators and dwarf crocs are class II. All other crocodilians are class I which makes it nearly impossible if I read the regs correctly (Class I says it excludes the Congo croc also, but I don't see it listed elswhere, so I don't know what it's deal is).
