Ha ha, I wish! I am a turtle guy and I still have not seen expansa in person, although i keep a couple species of podocs myself, I still would love to see those giants up close as adults.

Wow, what an amazing place! Those leucistic gators are awesome looking. Some day I'll have to visit Gatorland, thanks for sharing. Great photo job too!
