Me and Chester.

Description: This is Chester. He's 13 ft. in length and weighs 910 lbs. He was caught about 2 1/2 years ago in a neighborhood near Tampa, FL...after enjoying some dogs as meals...We are reconditioning his behavior, after he was loaned to another zoological institution that had a 'hands-off' policy of husbandry. This policy, of course, diminished his operant conditioning for lack of consistency/maintanence. He hax releasrned to 'smile' on command, and is relearning to move to a basking spot when we are to clean his pool.
