Besides my collection at the shop, I also had a turtle pen in my backyard which I kept a group of water turtles and land turtles. I had a pool. I had a baby alligator ’bout two feet long. I always had baby alligators and baby caiman. And once in a while baby croc which I got from Ralph Curtis. I had a baby alligator, but I think it was between two and three feet long. Apparently it got out of the pen, climbed outta the pen. And my mother called me and said, “Have you seen the paper this morning?” I said, “No, I hadn’t seen it.” And in the newspaper, it said a 10 or 11-foot alligator was on Dakota Street attacking automobiles.
