I recently moved and gave my gator to a freind of mine who hasn't spent much time with her, and wants to give her back to me now. She has went from really docile to extremely aggressive.
Is there any chance (with alot of work) I could get her retrained? She is only 3 years old and not my first crocodilian, I have had a lot of handleing experiance,l'm just not sure how long it would take (since it is their nature to be this way)

With some work and consistent handling I am pretty sure you can get her to calm back down. Work with her every day for about a month and I am sure you will see a big difference. Make sure that when she is back with you that you give her some time to settle back into her surroundings. This will be a critical step.

Hope this helps.
