I’m pretty sure you can get a permit to possess the animals as long as your facilities follow strict guidelines, and you obtain the proper antivenoms and have them on hand for dispensing. As far as your question as to why you would want to, I’m not sure, haha, I can’t think of any reason to. You can not legally just dispense them to just anyone who wants one. The only legit reasons I could think of is to make antivenom or for scientific studies. As far as the alligators, if they are American Alligators, I’m not sure if he could NOT obtain a permit for them to be kept as pets. Although, if you have the right kinda money, and know the right people, even that could probably be accomplished.

Thank you very much for this follow-up, and explaining the situation more thoroughly. All this probably could have been prevented if he had of acquired the proper permits and licenses.
