This Pet Alligator Learns the Word “No”

A pet alligator named Chompers in Idaho uses an indoor freshwater pool built by caretaker Corbin Maxey, illustrating a unique home for exotic pets.
The clip shows Chompers responding to a command, with Maxey saying, “No, Chompers, no!” and the alligator stopping on cue.
Captivity can extend alligator lifespans; in some cases, animals live up to 70 years or more versus about 50 in the wild.
Maxey cares for more than 30 exotic animals and has two rescue alligators named Soni and Chompers.
The indoor pool is freshwater because alligators lack salt glands and cannot live full-time in saltwater.
Chompers and Soni have a dedicated home that includes an indoor pool designed to help them cool off.
The piece notes the broader context of pet care for exotic animals and the variety of methods owners use to care for them.
The report references a video clip featured on a YouTube page owned by Maxey’s team showing the animals in their care.
The article identifies the location as Idaho and highlights Corbin Maxey's role in rescue and care.
