i would get a dwarf but i dont have 300 bux and this is a trade so its pretty much free and i got the boa in a trade and what i traded for a boa i got from a trade so its free the main reason im gonna do the trade is just for the tank its only a 30 gallon but im gonna put the gator into a 60gallon tub and my small snapper in the tank

You CANNOT keep a gator in with a snapper, that will end badly for he gator when he gets his toes and tip of its tail bit off. and I would suggest a minimum of 150 gallons for a gator of that size. Also, be sure that he gets UVB, gators need it just as much (if not more) than most turtles.

Good luck with it. I hope you know what you are getting into but if you do, it will be an awesome pet.

what are you planning on feeding it?

get a dwarf caimen. $300 online and he only ever gets 2 feet max.

these guys get 4-5' if kept properly and they only cost $175 on kingsnake.com
 
Good luck with it. And a 300g stock tank will not even be CLOSE to suitable in a few years.

i saw dirty jobs and thier was a zoo, iwht gators(they were bigger) with alligator snappers. the smallest gator(also had a nile in there) was aroun 4 to 5 feet. so it can be done
