Very cool gator... Do you know what the going market value on these guys is nowadays? I can't recall seeing one advertised in the last couple of years - but then again, I haven't looked all that closely.

I have NO idea. Except that they are still rare, I don't know much about them. I was just luck enough to see them, hold them, take some photos, etc. (My "owner" actually tok those three photos, I think, but I'm not positive since we trade the camera off to each other to get photos from different angles all of the time."

The normal one is from the same pod.

Thanks again for the reply. Wicked cool stuff.

No problem. Wish I could take credit more than just taking photos or being the one holding them....lol.

especially #1. Now how about giving us some details!

>>especially #1.

Thanks. This is another image we took, but they were underwater, so it came out looking bad. Still, it is a nice comparison shot, but not as cute as the first one.

They hatched out of a wild-collected and ended up on an alligator farm. Nests from that area have produced albinos in the past, but only a few. Less than the 25% to be expected, but that may just be bad luck. Some of those have been a little off, too. No idea why.

Thanks. I don't own it, though. I just saw it at the egg collector's facility.

All these photos are very exciting and simply beautiful.
Thank you again for the giving me the permission to use them for the book.
Best wishes
