The Alligator House in Jennings, La., brought us up close and personal with Bubba, an 11-month-0ld alligator found in a local backyard at the tender age of one week.
Like all babies, Bubba’s skin is ever so soft. In his first year, he’s grown from about 6 1/2 inches to a little over a foot.
Connie, the alligator “wrasseler,” passed Bubba around so we could all hold him through a barrage of shutter openings and flashes.
Connie also cares for and feeds Rambo, 122-year-old turtle, and slligators Clotilda and Boudreaux.
Everyone ooohhhed and aaaahhhhed and reached out for their turn to hold Bubba except Julysa and Alison who begged off saying they didn’t care for reptiles.
Connie says that since Hurricane Katrina, this area has seen a lot more alligators, Sea water flooded the narch lands, alligators moved farther inland.
