Wild Florida staff members known as the 'Croc Squad' announced the female alligator had laid a total of 19 eggs three weeks ago, which were successfully taken into incubation.
A pair of bright white alligators at a Florida animal park have produced a rare batch of eggs that may result in new albino-to-albino young born in captivity.
Yesterday, keepers shared a new video to Facebook showing the progress made since the eggs' discovery. To the delight of viewers, based on coloring, it appeared to be good news. According to WFTV, Snowflake is 25-years-old and Blizzard is 14-years-old. They are housed in a climate-controlled exhibit with dedicated areas for shade, and a heat-lamp.
In a video uploaded to social media, staff were seen entering the pen and distracting the female with sound. They said the eggs had to be removed to ensure they had a chance of survival as they were potentially at risk of natural predators, including racoons, fire ants and snakes.
