I would hope so. It would have been silly if it had been live chicken you had been rubbing all over yourself. Awkward.
I had a brainstorm in which I'd approach Haggisaurus in an inflatable raft so I could get better shots of him. I'd sneak up on him while he was asleep, take a few pictures, then float away to safety.I hope we don't get SK eaten asking for all these pictures.
What could possibly go wrong? I asked myself.
After further consideration, I abandoned that idea. Now I'm working on an approach that includes a snorkel, swim fins, a waterproof camera and hiding among lily pads.
One way or another, I'm determined to get close-up shots of that gator!
Maybe you could buy an alligator suit/costume, get inside it and swim up next to Charlie and his friends.
Maybe SK should go visit the Gator Boys, and they can show him how to get close for a good shot of the gator's pearly whites?

Ooohhh, he's so cute. I just want to hug him and squeeze him, and call him George.
I'm talking about the gator of course.

But what if they mistake me for a gatoress and try to jump my bones for more than just a quick lunch?
DAMN! That makes my raft and snorkel ideas seem tame by comparison...Maybe SK should go visit the Gator Boys, and they can show him how to get close for a good shot of the gator's pearly whites?

He just carried that gator out of the pool like it was a baby doll. I totally want his job.
Except, maybe, with smaller gators.
That comment produced a strong visual and a very unpleasant physical sensation that I can't seem to shake at the moment.
Before that, though, he was nearly injured a couple of times. It was apparent by his reactions that he was surprised and somewhat fearful for a few moments, as he probably knew that he'd dodged those jaws by sheer luck and reflexive prowess alone.
He's still a bad-ass, of course, far braver than I'd ever be around an alligator of that size in such tight quarters.
Whoa! That's unbelievable.Maybe SK should go visit the Gator Boys, and they can show him how to get close for a good shot of the gator's pearly whites?

I was gonna insist on these guys accompanying SK, but teh Gator Boys might be better.
Nah.

That was seriously amazing.
Before I looked at the Youtube video, I thought maybe the Gator Boys was the name of a musical band.
Now that I've looked at it, wow! Carrying an alligator out of a pool. What really amazed me was that he didn't have his legs or hands covered. I think I'd be wearing some heavy gloves, at least.

Bad, dog, bad.
I think that man lives on adrenaline alone.
Heh. I was catching reptiles at least as long as the Gator Boys have been. They were just . . . smaller. And had less teeth.
Me, sometime in the mid-80's.
Those two characters appear more menacing than any alligator I've ever encountered......I was gonna insist on these guys accompanying SK, but teh Gator Boys might be better.
Nah.
Very cool shot! You appear to have such a gentle touch that belies the animal you're handling....Me, sometime in the mid-80's.

They didn't tend to get defensive if they didn't feel restrained. Hand over hand until they calmed down, and then I could get a good look at them. But occasionally one would get wise to that trick, and detour up my arm.
When I first read that, I thought you'd said ..."and devour up my arm."
No. The snakes here aren't that big.
Garter snake. They're cool little snakes.
Wicked, I think we would have been buddies in our youth. I used to carry around garter snakes all the time, and painted turtles and frogs and various other critters.
That guy holding the gator like a baby reminds me of those colicky newborn days....
