Does Casper love you??

Does Casper love me?? Nope!! Trained, never tame, is my catchphrase! A lot of people forget this with how “easy and normal” I make it look, but never forget it’s always one mistake away from not just injury but very possibly death. Any one of the gators I work with could remove a hand or arm and you could bleed out and die from that, even Casper. Not being dramatic, just real. I love them, but they don’t love me. This is something I see lost on many, most people these days really have no real concept of mortality and the permanence of death, everyone thinks there’s some trick that makes this safe or some backup plan to ensure survival—there’s not. It’s real deal, life and death. I of course have skills and ways to minimize this risk and have been handling gators without any major incidents for 20 years, I’m able to conduct myself in a “relatively safe” way, at least by my standards, but I never forget that literal death is always one mistake away. So never try anything you see me doing!


~~~You can come swim with me and Casper! If you want to come join you can book online now, go to www.crocodilechris.com Let me know if you want to go! Observation and photos only at @evergladesoutpost and tour participants are separated from gators by safety fence. Remember all the gators you see me working with are rescue nuisance gators, caught from the wild as big as you see them now! The state kills 7k-8k each year. We volunteer our time to catch & rescue them and bring them to sanctuaries, unpaid. Wetsuit by @cressi1946
