How I Built An Alligator House!
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Major things are happening in the Alligator House including new alligator doors, heated waterfall, plans of a new barrier, and alligator docks! There's one thing I realized though...I never shared how we actually BUILT the Alligator House in the first place! The Alligator House took years to build and we put everything into it including our own sweat and blood...literally! Watch this DIY behind-the-scenes video on how we built the Alligator House for our two rescued alligators, Soni and Chompers! It took us 858 days to complete the Alligator House. Why did take us so long? It was a weekend project for my dad and I and we both had full time jobs during the week.Watch as we literally build a 1200 square foot house around a 38 foot long fiber glass tank, which would eventually become the alligator pool! Make sure to watch until the very end, because you will see us move Soni into his new home! Thanks for watching and stay tuned...The Alligator Introduction is happening SOON!!!

I can't tell you how much this comment means to me! 🥲 So much goes in to caring for the animals and to hear that this has been inspiring makes me so happy. It wasn't an easy project and there were so many days we wanted to throw the towel in...but we kept going! Thanks for the support 😊

That was so interesting seeing how you built the alligator house. Watching 8 big grown men struggle to control Soni and move him is a testament to how powerful he is…just incredible. Can’t wait to see more updates and see Savannah and Mike visit to help you. Hugs to Soni and Chompers from Tennessee. 🥰🐊

It's so crazy looking back when we moved him because we thought he was big then!!! He's grown so much since he moved into the Alligator House!!! We can't wait for Savannah and Danny from Gatorland to come help us introduce Soni and Chompers!!! We are now counting down the days!

@@corbinmaxey Sorry, my bad. I don’t know why I said Mike. I know it’s Danny. I’ll just blame it on old age. 😂 Does Soni still weigh about 400 pounds? I remember you mentioned you had bruises on your chest from jumping on Soni. I’m sure the osteoderms hurt. How much does Chompers weigh?

I only support 4 KZread channels (yours) and they are all animal related (rescue channels) and wasnt a big alligator fan, until I came across your channel. I love your videos and how you interact with Soni and Chompers, the love you have for them and how funny you are. I will continue to support this channel and can't wait to see the introduction of both of them. Also, I am from Australia and love that you have a emu, do you have a story on how you came to have him? One more thing, for you own safety, would like to see a few safety sticks installed around the alligator house, just incase. Its very scary seeing you walk around them with nothing. Keep up the good work and video. 🇦🇺💚

Hey Corbin I have a question was it only you and your dad who built this whole thing? + I love ur alligators!!
The alligators are very awesome! Out of curiosity, how much does it cost to feed them each one feeding session?
@corbinmaxey

They only eat 1-2X a week and our friends at the Thomas Cattle Company donated 4,000 lbs of meat! What costs a lot is the electricity to heat the building, pool, and keep our freezers on
