His striking white scales and gentle demeanor captivate everyone who meets him. Though naturally shy, Frostbite is becoming braver with each passing day, showing glimpses of his growing confidence. He is the offspring of Snowflake and Blizzard, inheriting their rare and beautiful traits.

Crusher was a rescue alligator brought to us from a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) licensed trapper in the SNAP program. If we hadn’t brought Crusher and found him a home at Wild Florida then he would have been euthanized according to Florida state law. Crusher is a very special and unique gator. He has become highly trained and shows strong intelligence. Being able to work with him is an honor!
