Photos show the 4- to 5-foot-long alligator on the banks of a retention pond at the Tanner Plantation neighborhood.
Jay Butfiloski with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources says the color may come from where the animal spent the winter, perhaps in a rusty steel culvert pipe.
Experts say the alligator will shed its skin and probably return to a normal shade soon.

Pretty neat. Agreed on the cause. Could have been in a pit of iron bacteria too. Certainly, just stained dirty.

Since Trump's not going to have a dog in the White House, I'd be pretty ok with a Trump-igator roaming the White House lawn.

that was one of my first thoughts, but I don't know if someone stupid enough to get close enough to a gator to try and paint it, would still be alive after the encounter
>>948271
Gator has been eating too many pic related.
>>948314
I think that eating an extreme amount would probably kill you before turning you orange
>>948323
I don't think anyone has ever eaten a second one.

And candy hearts.
Real black licorice makes decent bait. Not sure why. The fake stuff isn't strong enough though.

I got some good sized black jelly beans that work well with a slingshot

Probably. I'm not a huge fan of the stuff, i just remember reading about how aniseed can be used to attract fish, and I wanted to try it until I realized that the anise content in candy is far, far lower than in the licorice you can get at specialty stores.

I actually like candy corn.
I don't ever eat it anymore though and even when I did it was like a handful or two.
>>948385
Yeah a handful is okay but anything after that would make me sick.

>[corn syrup] tastes like horsevadge
That's disgusting! You've tasted corn syrup?

Being a SC native from where these guys would have been abundant enough to consider this: naw. A dumbass on vacation however? Absolutely. Cletus the redneck wouldn't paint that fucker orange but Eric the accountant that is better than Cletus because he's making $60k more a year will run right up to Mr. Trumpagator here and snap a picture of his face with mouth open and him hissing. Because, you know, he went to college. Happened to a guy in Edisto Island about a decade ago. Most of the people FROM SC told him not to and he didn't listen. Luckily all he lost was his camera and maybe the underwear he was wearing that day. I think it hurt his pride a little too.
>>948287
We are talking USA so stupidity at that level is very probable.

Samefagging from here >>948455 rednecks and hunters(not always one and the same) have an incredibly hard time with gators eating their hunting dogs. This is especially true around the low country. So again, no, SC residents would NOT make a Trumpagator. Please a gator that size would take a lot of orange spray paint and holding it still for that long would almost guarantee someone got bit.

Plus* not please. My bad, I'm still waking up.
Someone ate too many Sea Wheedies.

You've obviously never been to Florida...
The shit you hear bout on the news (adventures of florida man) is just a small fraction of the circus that this place is.
>>948562
Are American Negros as scared of gators as they are of bears?
Do you carry gator spray whilst /out/?
>>948568
They're afraid of almost everything.
>>948283
Reroll
>>948568
Do they even golf?
>>948601
Most gators have a VIP club membership.
There are orange Pygmy crocodiles in Cameroon that live in a few very specific caves and eat bats. The water leaches the color out of their skin.

Last grrl I tried that with threatened charges.
Bitch.
>>948637
Pretty neat.
>>948646
I feel you on that one. I tried to tell her she could have said no and she kept saying things like:
"How do I say no when you kept putting tape over my mouth?"
And I was all like:
"Why did you invite me over if you didn't want this?"
And she was all like:
"You were hiding in my broom closet!"
Come to think of it... that might be my bad.

Maybe thats why absinthe works when you splash it on lures cause youre shithoused
