How I Ended Up With Two Pet Alligators!
Рет қаралды 68,731
29 күн бұрынIt's one of the number one questions I get asked about Soni and Chompers my two American Alligators: How did I end up with pet alligators in the first place? For the first time EVER, I do a complete backstory on Soni and Chompers and how I ended rescuing them and giving them a forever home. I share never-before-seen footage of the early days and how I used house them. From stock tanks, to custom built enclosures, to revamping an old hot tub out our back deck, see where the alligators used to live before the Alligator House. I also share footage of how we moved the alligators into their new homes with clips that have never been shared until NOW! Make sure to watch until the very end because I have a VERY EXCITING announcement!!! Thanks for watching this alligator video!!!!

Corbin, what an awesome video. Glad to see the journey with Soni and Chompers. I have to admit I’m jealous that you got to kiss both of them. You’ve done an amazing job and I’m so glad you were able to rescue them and save them from a terrible fate. Keep up the good work. Hugs from Tennessee. 💕🐊

@@corbinmaxey Maybe Mike from Gatorland can teach you how to kiss Soni and Chompers. He gives Sultan chin scratches and then gives him a kiss on the nose. It’s so adorable. Btw, I saw a car in the Smoky Mountains with an Idaho license plate. I thought I wonder if they know Corbin? 😊

It's really cool seeing the support your family gave you in this. Your parents are pretty special to be willing to do this with you for so many years. A lot of parents wouldn't, creating those situations where well-meaning teens end up with malnourished, poorly cared for pets. This was so heart-warming!
