Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.
Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."
Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

You can get a license to keep an alligator in NC, but the licenses are not issued if the animal will be kept as a pet.
There are also enclosure requirements that must be met if they do manage to get a license. They are as follows:
1. Enclosure. The enclosure shall be surrounded by a sturdy fence so as to prevent contact between the observer and alligator. The enclosure shall contain a pool of water large enough for the animal t completely submerge itself. If more than one animal is kept, the pool must be large enough for all animals to be able to submerge themselves at the same time. A land area with both horizontal dimensions being at least as long as the animal shall also be provided. In case of more than one animal, the land area shall have both horizontal dimensions at least as long as the longest animals to occupy the land area at the same time with overlap.
2. Sanitation and Care. The water area must be kept clean and adequate food provided. Protection shall be provided at all times from extremes in temperature.
That's the long answer to the question, the short answer is basically no. Alligators are protected in NC and an individual is not going to be allowed to keep one legally just to have one.
