looks like his tounge is dislocated... the lump along his throat shouldn't be there.

he is stunted due to underfeed for a long time.

he will grow again eventually, but he might not get anywhere near as big as other gator would get. just try to feed him a lot for now, throw in feeder minnows that you can get at the bait shop and keep them available at all time so he can eat whenever he want.
