    Hi im in Missouri and i happened to catch a glimpse of an American Alligator in my local petshop. and i was wondering does anyone know if its even legal to sell alligators? at first i didnt think it was but then my biolody/zoology teacher said he thought it might be legal. so anyone who has any information is greatly appreciated :unsure:

    id just like to add an update.

    apparently its 100% illegal to sell aligators and the petshop in town that was selling them just got shut down by the EPA.
