I found out my friend is the stupidest guy in the world.
Check this out
The Story :
I went to a friends house to visit. I had sold them one of my 2001 american aligator baby's. He said it would be for his son. I made sure his son was over 18 and that he knew what was involved in raising a aligator. i had him come over 4 times a week to feed , handle , get to know and get used to working with an aligator, and once a week , clean the cage of the aligator he wanted.
For 2 months he did good. Came over when he was suposed to. Bought the mice , Catfish , crawdads etc. I remember the first time he picked the aligator up the first time he was so timid. It was funny to watch. Be he got used to it. Being a son of a close friend i could work with him so he would know every aspect of everything. After a while he seemed ready and i told him if he still wanted it. he could take it home. His dad payed for it. It was a birthday present. I told him any animal i sell , i will take back , even buy back from anyone who finds out they dont not want it.
Well when i went over there this afternoon. I noticed there was no aligator. I asked where he was. I got a slow response of. "He died." I was thinking , Disease ? Fell off the shelf ? Steped on him ? Cat got him ? I asked him what happened. Did he find it dead one morning ? Did something happen to him ?
In response to this. I got " Well , He turned white " "Then he just quit moving ".
I said What ?!? What do you mean he turned white ?!?
He said "Well i was changing the water in the tank and when i put him back in he started thrashing around realy hard then just stoped" "And when i took him out he was all white from his toes half way up his body".
I already had a picture of this poor aligator in my head and knew what was coming next. And in my mind i thought "Holy Sh*t Your not going to tell me you boiled him How Fu*$%'n stupid are you ?".
I didnt even want to hear it come out of his mouth , But he went on to say , "i noticed the water was realy hot when i picked him up out of the cage. Then i remembered , I forgot to put some cold water in the tank after he dumped the hot water in."
I was geting sick to my stomache by then and i said "So you accidently put him in 200 degre water ? How in the hell do you do something like that ?" I was so mad , i just left.
I cant beleve someone could be so damn stupid. i mean , him learching out of his hands and droping to the floor wrong and dieing or something could be , i dont know , atleast beleveable that something like that could happen.
But Boil your Aligator alive in it's tank ?
It just goes to show you cant even trust friends to be smart enough to house a reptile . I just cant get over how stupid that was. Oh my god. It's so Sad.
