When the temperature drops below 70 degrees alligators tend to stop eating. However, Colorado Gators has geothermal water that comes out of the spring at 87 degrees. Our gators eat year round. #alligator #winter #feeding #coloradogators #foryoupage

Our crocodiles on the snow! Only at Colorado Gators. Nile crocs are cold tolerant and we have geothermal water that keeps them nice and warm.

You should never feed crocodiles. This can be dangerous. We are professionals.

Elvis is our largest Alligator at Colorado Gators. However, even at 12 feet and 7 inches, there are larger alligators out there. #alligator #coloradogators #elvis #foryoupage #dangerous

Morris the Moviestar came to Colorago Gators in 2006 to retire from his life as a Hollywood Movie Star. His most famous roll in a movie was Happy Gilmore.

These beautiful lizards are native to the southwest United States. They are the only venomous lizard native to the United States. #lizard #gilamonster #venomous #foryoupage #coloradogators

Our biggest alligator at Colorado Gators is Elvis at 12 foot 7 inches.

You should never feed an alligator. It can be dangerous. I’m a trained professional.

While Gila Monsters are venomous, bites from them are rare. It is even more rare that a bite would kill a human. They are beautiful animals. #gilamonster #venomous #lizards #coloradogators #foryoupage

Alligators are ambush predators. They are capable of hiding almost their entire body while they sit and wait patiently for something to come too close so they can grab it and pull it under. #alligators #ambush #predator #coloradogators #foryoupage

We had snow at Colorado Gators and couldn’t resisit working with our big crocodiles. We sure do love these animals. They are big and powerful creatures. #crocodile #croc #coloradogators #foryoupage #dangerous #feeding #snow

Alligators are ambush predators. They burn energy fast and will try to sneak up on their target before attacking. Lori here is very territorial and wasn’t happy that I was in her space, cleaning her drains. She really wanted me out. #alligator #sneakattack #ambush #coloradogators #foryoupage

Morris is our most famous alligator at Colorado Gators. He was in the movie Happy Gilmore!

You should never attempt to pet an alligator. It can be dangerous and I’m a professional.

Another gator under the ice! This does happen to gators in the wild and isn’t something that just happens at Colorado Gators. Alligators can survive this by entering a state called brumation. #alligator #ice #winter #coloradogators #foryoupage

An up close look at the mouth of Elvis here at Colorado Gators. A nice shot of the 80 teeth in his mouth.
Don’t attempt! Never get close to an alligator. Give them their space. I’m a professional

Our Caiman at Colorado Gators tears his food apart! Crocodilians will use this method naturally when they have something too big for them to swallow.

You should never feed Caiman. Caiman can be dangerous. I am a professional.

Alligators can be very vocal animals. Bellowing is one of the ways that they communicate with each other. It can be for mating purposes, a territorial display, or just a way to remind the other gators who is around. #alligator #bellowing #coloradogators #foryoupage

Two of my favorite animals to work with at Colorado Gators are Isis the Nile Crocodile and Daniel the West African Crocodile. Despite being from Africa, these crocs are surprisingly cold tolerant.
Don’t attempt. Crocodiles can be dangerous. I’m a professional

We move our alligators into warmer water when we find them under the ice because our winters are colder than southern winters. Alligators are capable of surviving a body of water iced over in the wild. In the wild, alligators should be left alone. #alligator #winter #ice #coloradogators #foryoupage

The ISO on an alligator is such a cool feature. These organs can feel vibrations and pressure changes in total darkness. This allows the alligator to hunt even when it can’t see. #alligator #hunt #feeding #coloradogators #foryoupage

We were fixing a fence in our Morelet’s Crocodile pond. With the drain pulled and the water level low, one of our female crocs decided to make a snack out of some fish. #crocodile #fish #feeding #coloradogators #foryoupage

Alligators will scavenge food as part of their diet. If you gut a fish in the same location and leave the guts lying around, alligators may start coming to that location to look for a free meal. #alligator #scavenge #feeding #coloradogators #foryoupage

We found another alligator under the ice. We cut a hole not the ice so we could stick a camera under the water and see the gator up close. #alligator #underwater #ice #coloradogators #foryoupage

While cleaning our albino gator here at Colorado Gators, she snaps at me to show her annoyance with me. I’m in no danger as she isn’t attacking me. She isn’t trying to bite me. Just showing her annoyance with me. #alligator #albino #coloradogators #foryoupage #alligators

Crocodilians are so cool. The way they are built allow them to hide almost their whole body while keeping their eyes and nose out of the water. Ambush Predators! #crocodile #hiding #coloradogators #foryoupage #predator

Our crocodiles got a whole prey item. When a crocodilian gets ahold of food, thy have to swallow the item whole. #crocodile #foryoupage #coloradogators #feeding #crocs
