The gator couple—a male called Blizzard and a female called Snowflake—are living at the Wild Florida Airboats facility in Kenansville. They became the first pair of breeding albino alligators in Central Florida after being acquired from St. Augustine Alligator Farm in May 2017.

So you’ve seen several that WOULD have been born in Louisiana? Why didn’t you call DWF since one has never been captured? ICYMI, an obviously you did, the white alligator in Audubon Zoo wasn’t an albino.

Let’s see, I’ve picked over 1 million alligator eggs in my lifetime. My relatives have farmed roughly 100k alligators since 1995. All eggs have been taken from the Louisiana marshland.

So before you continue to sound like a complete imbecile, understand you will never be the smartest man in the room.

The albinos that were found in the area were typically sold to zoos or private collectors, he said.

Haught said the surviving albino gators nowadays are born in captivity.

I don’t have to be the smartest person in the room. But I’m smart enough to know the leucistic alligators in Audubon zoo aren’t albino.
