Our Alligator Leaves Footprints in Wet Concrete!

When we had new concrete poured in front of the facility, we just HAD to have Rex walk across it. It didn't go quite as planned...

I just watched an entire construction crew turn into children with the levels of fun and amazement in this video. Ya'll are bringing smiles to everyone. <3

“We like to give our animals approachable names” like Diarrhea Jane. Also Rex’s prints going off to the side like that is a good opportunity to put something there, like a trash can or a charity donation box. That way not only do you have the amazing-ness of a real alligator organically leaving that trail, but you can utilize it as a functional design like y’all were hoping for

The fact that she wants to go back to her own cage is a testament of what a great home you built her.
And thinking of how Rex’s life started out…. Man, yet another reminder she truly won the lottery with you guys

The way Rex walked a nonlinear path on the concrete is actually such a perfect, beautiful representation of her journey through life!! She didn’t have a straight shot through life, it was full of twists and turns just like her footprints she left.

The fact she's acting a bit more "wild" is great! Such a wonderful journey that we've had te privilege of following. Plus she's grown so much! I love what a wonderful life you've given her.

I think how Rex walked just screams her personality and I think that's perfect. Rex is basically the mascot of your channel. It's the main reason why people come is to see her. So to see her feet and her personality in the ramp is a great start to your Zoo.

[Finschenable]

Love the idea, so creative. You could also use the good prints as molds and have events where kids could make themselves some Rex feet to take home with silicone or something

Someone made a good point - Rex's walking and standing in her tunnel seems healthier now? Compared to a previous video where she walked around in the one pet store to pick out dog toys for herself. So she's stronger and more energetic. It's just all around heartwarming!

[ashleighgriffin]

Rex looks so healthy!! She has come such a long way, it’s great seeing how just a change in environment can change an animals entire being.

[emmie]

Rex looks SO MUCH healthier than in her first videos!!! She grew and her nose looks more straight and her colors are more vibrant!! It brings so much joy to see how good you're taking care of her <3

[Snow_Sailor]

I wonder what historians in the next thousands years will think once they see Rex footprints. I feel like those must be so cool in person.

[EmmaxHobbits]

I'd love to see the prints painted/colored in (left front print red, right front print blue, left back print yellow, right back green or whatever) to make it easier to (1) draw attention to the uneven pavement (2) see how big her strides are as she moves forward and turns!

[StephTeachesStuff]

Rex has gotten so much bigger since you got her, I love to see her getting big and having a good life!

"Some of the construction guys are afraid of snakes, so some of the other construction guys wanted us to bring out a snake."
Yeah, sounds about right.

[louisebanks]

So super cool that it's Rex's real print and chosen path. So much better than a fake stamp that looks neater 😀 loved watching her visit her tunnel and the shop, so much sass.

[spiercephotography]

I LOVE that Rex basically wandered around a bit, then went home and into 'her' tunnel! adorable!

[kirstenbass]

She was stomping through her tunnel like “so heckin mad right now!” The ramp looks great, so it was worth it.

[pay]

I like how she walks all high when angery. Kinda reminds me of those ancient crocs that could run.

[Chellizard]

I've been watching since yall first got Rex... she has come such a long way!! She looks so much healthier and happier!! You can seriously tell she is loved so much and given so much <3

[rowanlamoureux]

Rex looks amazing! She looks like she can hold her weight up a bit better and she looks so healthy! I absolutely love how happy she seems.
