A lot could happen in a blink of an eye when you are dealing with an alligator.Their incredible agility and massive strength could cripple a man instantly, and all it takes is one slight mistake and it could be your last. This is the reality of all that works with alligators. Sooner or later "reality take a bite" and leaves you with a painful horrific scar physically and mentally for the rest of your life. Then the test of will comes into play when fearful thoughts reminds you of the risks and the dangers convincing you to quit. But what happens when the passion is so strong that being amongst these fascinating reptiles becomes a part of you. "Is it worth the sacrifice?" .
