Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Don't know what that is but he is pretty cool. Since the residents can fish I wonder if they are allowed to catch alligators? He has gotta be worth a fortune!

Orange alligator?
Probably a hypo, or as the biologist said, an albino that turned more orange than whitish. (Think albino burmese that have a pattern of white and yellow.) Looks too big for someone to actually grab it and paint it, or whatever.

Actually I think that would be how you would explain the hypo gene to someone that has no clue.
BTW) That's what I think it is as well.

How beautiful! I just hope he (or she) does not end up at the wrong end of a gun.

Doesn't look like an albino, there's normal pigment in the tail and on top of the head. It looks like orange mud, really. Until there's more photos, I'm not sure this is a true color morph.

Uploaded picture just in case articles go away. Looks like an external coating of some kind (iron oxide in the soil perhaps) in this picture, remember the white alligator cause by living in/around an artesian well.

Yea, it looks like orange mud to me as you can see he has a bit of a dusty appearance and his true color is showing from underneath. Here's another picture. It would be cool if it was a new color morph but I don't think it is
