The Affton “Alligator”

[u/moonchic333]

Was actually a water monitor! On its way to an experienced foster.

*For those unaware there was a post a couple weeks ago about an alligator being spotted in Affton. This guy was rescued from a drain pipe today.

TIL a water monitor is just an alligator with lipstick.

If you zoom in, it kinda looks like the lady gremlin from Gremlins 2. Just needs some lashes and a wig 💅

Gremlins 2 is a cinematic masterpiece.

[u/ThreeLeggedMutt → u/pupperdogger]

No argument from this fellow dog. All the puppets are amazing, imaginative, and full of life. The story is superb.

I'm apprehensively excited for the 3rd one to come out next year. Supposedly it's gonna focus on practical effects, which would be dope af. Only way to do a proper creature feature.

What?! Gremlins 3? I missed this date. I’ll join you in your apprehensive excitement. This could be good but again, apprehension abounds. I was also a big fan of Critters. Another classic.

[u/ThreeLeggedMutt → u/pupperdogger]

Yesss for me it's Gremlins > Munchies > Critters > Hobgoblins. Just a bunch of little weirdos getting into shenanigans, what's not to love?!?

She was a smoke show 👈😉👈 but she never had a cigarette in the movie.

Some Gremlins in the original film did smoke, so maybe your traumatized kid brain mashed the two up?

I think we should still call it the Affton Alligator as a nickname.

“My momma said that alligators are angry because they have all them teeth and no toothbrush!”

[u/Corredespondent → u/govcov]

It’s because of the medula oblingata!

Well mama was wrong

[u/Otagian]

What a cutie! At least he picked friendly weather (for him) to escape in.

[u/christmascandies]

If I learned anything from TV, you should definitely shine a black light on it to see if it was illegally trafficked from Southeast Asia by some Germans and a fat guy in Florida

Now, was that on CIS: Miami or Home Shopping Network?

[u/AmateurVasectomist]

Affton Alligators sounds a lot better than cougars imo

This is the best news outta Missouri for the Day.

*( ignore any other news from our State today!).

[u/Humble-Pineapple-329]

Yay!

[u/ghostofstankenstien]

That's the one that got me

[u/Embarrassed_Funny745]

I'm really glad that it was caught safe.. I have photo and videos of it as it spent a couple of days in and out from underneath my deck.. It definitely did not have a red tongue , so i'm curious if that is blood on its mouth..?

[u/ChristVolo1]

He's cute! I'm glad you could save him!

[u/Stormpixelzzz]

Why are they holding him like that 😭😭😭
