Welcome to 10 Minutes with TickTok! Today we are reacting to a viral video of an alligator bite. We are also announcing the winner of our 100k Giveaway!
With all my years of alligator handling experience (watching videos) I've never had any kind of injury, probably never will. My personal fool proof technique is to never actually be in the same place as an actual alligator.
He’s dealing with literal alligators, things happen. It happens, I worked in a dog shelter and I got bitten, I couldn’t avoid it. Does it mean I don’t know how to work with dogs? No. It happens, people in healthcare settings get bitten by patients… let’s not judge people by 1 video on the internet 🙅🏻♀️
This is wisdom. I have worked with many different types of animals over the years and stopped counting the bites a long time ago. It's a product of the work environment, just like teachers and school bus drivers get sick a lot because they are around so many kids.
Heck, I volunteered at a humane society and worked with dogs. Typically they keep harmful dogs in the back, and put well trained dogs up front where they can be adopted. I put my finger in one of the cages of a dog that was meant to be adopted, and it bit into my finger and made me bleed out. I was more worried for the dog and it being put down because it bit me, than I was worried about myself. I did end up passing out, but I was much more worried about the animal getting punished. It is never an animal's fault for biting you and even if you're the most trained person with animals, you can still be bit and it doesn't say anything about you as a trainer. That's just how animals are. They will bite. Just like humans will inevitably share their opinions on the internet. It's the same thing.
I once saw a video of Steve Irwin where an alligator grabbed his hand. He stayed relaxed and allowed the gator to "take" his hand and it released him almost immediately. The two of you were talking about the same thing towards the end of the video.
--- I did see the clip you're talking of under the title "Crocodile hunter gets hand bitten by...well a crocodile". Dunno whether that is the official catalogue-name of the clip or not though. ---
I’m with Gabby on this one, unless you’re being kidnapped screaming only makes a situation more stressful! Haters are gonna hate but a wild animal can always be unpredictable!
@@xshathra4743 a normal person would scream once because they were caught by surprised but to continue to scream over and over again is annoying if you can’t handle the situation you’re looking at then leave.
oh wow... I didn't know this happened. Chris - I love how you educate. The lady with you - first time I've seen her before. She was helpful as well. Thank you Chris!!
Thank you for giving an objective view on what happened there, having broken my arm in 20 places (not reptile related!) and suffered nerve damage I can sympathise and hope the gentleman is ok as long term it can cause a lot of issues. Great to see Tiktok looking amazing 🧡
Gotta love the hate trolls. People think they know it all & are always too quick to judge. *I do hope that he had a speedy recovery. Thank You for your wisdom guys!*
I haven’t had a chance to keep up on Tick Tok for a while and seeing she made some art, and there was a contest, I’m so bummed I missed out!!! I hope she makes another one! Artist here that would LOVE that and is now considering my scalebaby to play with some paint... 🤔 love you guys-your compassion and education is very genuine and incredibly helpful 😊❤️
I can't believe the snake draped so perfectly around your neck is TikTok! I saw the horrible horrible condition she was in when you guys rescued her. To be honest, I didn't think she was going to make it. Your love and time and Devotion saved her life ❤️
Thank you for clearing up this situation. I'll admit...I did think he was at fault and wasn't very "smart". I'm embarrassed but I am humbled as well. Thank you. 😬
Gabbie is so sensitive to both the animals and the humans, which is why she says not to scream like that. Chris clearly is acutely aware that humans have fear responses and can't really control it. Gabbie is an absolute badass and somehow managed not to scream in super scary situations. I adore both of you and you make such an awesome team.
Humans can prevent it though. You prevent yourself from having fear responses by not putting yourself in dangerous positions in the first place or where you could experience something dangerous happening to someone else. The karen screaming out of fear at the trainer getting bit by the aligator could've avoided that. But this also requires people to be self-aware enough, which I do not trust the average person to understand what self-awareness is, tbh. Of course, you can't always prevent dangerous situations like nature or a plane crash, but going to an exhibit with deadly animals that could bite you to eat, that can 100% be prevented if you know your fear response to such things. There really isn't any excuse for that. You're just a nuisance. Even if the average person isn't self-aware enough, I'm still holding them accountable because they should be more self-aware in these instances.
Laura Wilcox, I was just checking out people’s comments, and saw your name 😁. I’ve heard your name mentioned, probably more than 1000 times from DINGO!!!! You are without doubt a Legend!!!
She’s so comfortable with that snake around her neck that I wouldn’t be least bit surprised if she’d confuse remote control with friggin snakes head and starts pressing ‘buttons’
When i visited the Everglades, a kid fell off the jetty, straight into the water. Luckily no alligators grabbed him, and he was pulled out at lightning speed. Scary moment though.
Miss TickTock looks beautiful now and so happy. I am so glad you guys found her. Losing her eye caps in shed is great and do glad that she has her forever home with you. How is the new toucan doing?
They should tell people before the show starts, if by chance something bad happens and you can’t handle it… don’t scream just walk out so other professionals or who ever is able to help can help without panicking.
Don't let Gabby's point slide here: histrionic screeching is only ever going to compound a situation where animals are involved. I've had to impart abrupt lessons to my nephews where they've panicked in the presence of wild swans and a bull on a farm. There's no excuse for those adults endangering everyone around them with such infantile behaviour.
If you didn't know he was being bitten, from the back, you can't even tell what was happening.. he was so calm. I'm surprised that Chris "stood up for" us "Normal people"😅😅 and Gabby gave us "tough love" telling us not to scream 😂🤣😆😂
I look forward to ur videos. Sooo good but very informative. U guys are both just caring people. Doesn't matter if its a bug or a croc u show it respect
I understand screaming as a reaction to sudden events as I have been guilty of doing so. But that doesn't change the inefficiency of that reaction, especially when you are dealing with animals who also get stressed by the screaming. As humans I know we can better control this particular reaction.
I doubt I will ever be in this situation given I live in NY and rarely go to Fl, but these videos are super informative and really just helpful and an ease of mind that hey if I do come in contact with an alligator they arent trying to eat me so dont panic and be smart, stay away or move away slowly or even sit still if you arent that close and let them go away on their own. I feel like the panic is something that could be the deciding factor in many scenarios too no? just a guess. whether it be the person thinks they have to do something to the alligator/croc, or the make too many sudden moves to where the creature gets curious enough to want to know whats going on. In any case thanks for all you do! you guys rock!!
Thank u 4 explaining what happened to this handler. I thought when he tapped his nose was teasing him. Never judge a person when u don't know why this alligator bit u. Yes some people put their head in an alligator. I don't know how they don'tn understand that putting ur head in an alligator could snap your head. This is very instructional. By the way I love ur sweater. I always loved gators and crocs. Have a good day even though this was recorded in 2021.
OG sub here and so excited for,your growing success-also..really cool to comment on a video of someone you know and educate will not excusing or criticizing-“hi Tik tok !!🥰
by trying to open the jaw himself he kinda acted like prey and probably made it bite down even harder. i think he got too confident and did not respect the gator enough
Even the same gators or other animals have its own personality, each of them, as we have. That’s why what we do at first, it’s respect. And if don’t know about this handler, nobody can judge him. Not only this case, there’re stories behind the things. But the news articles etc. showing us about only the results most of the time. But we can see the forest, not only a tree.
I think what rubs me the wrong way about someone screaming their head off in that situation is that it seems so selfish to scream in terror when it's not you getting attacked. It's really not about how scared you are as an onlooker, not in that moment. The person who is being attacked is who should be the focus, and no, screaming to convey your own personal terror is NOT helpful. I could understand a startle scream (and I would probably scream at the very first second from surprise and have no control over it), but after that first "AHHH WTF" moment, zip it and either help or get out of the way. I sincerely doubt people who scream mean any harm, of course. But it's preferable they don't do that.
Expecting someone to scream while someone’s being bitten by an alligator seems like a pretty normal response for an average person. Not everyone swims with alligators and has pet Toucans LOL
id like a regular video talking about viral incidents/videos (id rather a longer video with lots of content rather than a several short one about only one event)
Wow! Hadn't seen that before. I hope there wasn't too much damage. Sometimes, things go wrong despite the fact that you know what you're doing. Animals are unpredictable. Thanks for talking about this
Love the Tick Tock videos! Gabby, you’re such a boss woman! I appreciate the female representation you hold in a male dominated field. You empower me to follow my passion for reptiles :)) Chris, I love your photography and the informational videos about sharks and sea life (it makes me less afraid of large bodies of water)
Dude just like me I do tattoos and the first bad one every one will be like that guy can't tattoo why did u go to him....but until then everyone calls me because I'm cheaper than a shop....do one bad tattoo the world knows ....do 100 great ones nobody knows..... People love drama
With all my years of alligator handling experience (watching videos) I've never had any kind of injury, probably never will. My personal fool proof technique is to never actually be in the same place as an actual alligator.
I love you
Bite free 20 years and counting 👍 I follow the same approach
Yeah but I’m going go swim with them hahah
🤣 funny
If you’re not next to them handling them like Gator Chis and his coworkers then you’re nothing but a amateur who knows nothing about gators, bye 😊
If either of you ever experience what the guy in the film experienced (God forbid), I promise not to scream.

It's a normal human reaction to scream if you aren't a professional alligator handler...
@@TomikaKelly exactly. It's not like you can control it.
Gabby is my spirit animal.. "dont be that person" lol

@@yatsuto6088 it is annoying, but that's how some people react when they're scared. They probably don't even realize that they're screaming.
Love Seeing TickTok She Is Beautiful And Looks Like She's Came A Long Ways And Is Doing Great
TikTok is literally just chilling there so calm and sweet! You know she’s appreciative for her second chance of life!
Love listening to you two.. and watching all you do, you are so kind to the animals. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
I agree with Gabby!!! Stop the screaming !!!! Hahha u guys are awesome
I just plan to stay far enough away that I don't have to find out what I'd do... great video Chris and gabby
oh wow... I didn't know this happened. Chris - I love how you educate. The lady with you - first time I've seen her before. She was helpful as well. Thank you Chris!!
Gabby is his girlfriend. She's a professional like Chris
@@lynngiaffoglione4250 thank you. I had no idea. she's knowledgeable like Chris is.

Love meeting you at croc fest!! Love your work!!! Thank you!
I got so excited when you said the winner's first name. 😂
I agree with her, all that screaming just makes people more anxious.
Congrats megan. You got a great painting

Really appreciate the passion involved in your videos guys keep up the great work!
Love this I cant wait for more! I dont mind it to be a little longer. Congratulations to the winner.
"Confirmation bias" - great point!
When i visited the Everglades, a kid fell off the jetty, straight into the water. Luckily no alligators grabbed him, and he was pulled out at lightning speed. Scary moment though.
Hey guys:), great video 👍. How’s your friend doing? I’m not sure when this incident happened. Is he still working with Alligators?
Lol your sunglasses look like it's on the alligator on the shirt. Love your videos btw. 💕
Miss TickTock looks beautiful now and so happy. I am so glad you guys found her. Losing her eye caps in shed is great and do glad that she has her forever home with you. How is the new toucan doing?

Great video! Congrats to Meghan winning Tiktok's painting!!👏🏻
Great video and information!
Love your channel, keep the videos coming!
Much respect for what you both do
I think you both are fantastic . I hope people don’t call you idiots or morons because you both definitely are not xxx 🐊
there are two good reasons to watch this video
What a interesting video! Soo good. I love 10-20 minutes with tiktok!!
you guys need to start watching _Loki_ so you can review the how realistically it portrays alligators
That snake 🐍 loves her mama 😊
And remember people, when a giant Cicadas bug flies at you , do not SCREAM. Sorry I couldn't help myself.
As long as somebody’s arm isn’t in an alligators mouth you can scream 😂
I look forward to ur videos. Sooo good but very informative. U guys are both just caring people. Doesn't matter if its a bug or a croc u show it respect

Still gabby is right. The screaming was ridiculous
by trying to open the jaw himself he kinda acted like prey and probably made it bite down even harder. i think he got too confident and did not respect the gator enough
working with dangerous animals you always keep in mind it can go wrong. and im sure he knew that. im definately glad he did not lose his arm.
" A regular normal person, they don't don't understand anything." Boy did you get that right...
Guys, even the late, great Steve Irwin got bitten a few times by crocs he captured before on his Croc Hunter show. It happens to the best of us.
Even the same gators or other animals have its own personality, each of them, as we have. That’s why what we do at first, it’s respect. And if don’t know about this handler, nobody can judge him. Not only this case, there’re stories behind the things. But the news articles etc. showing us about only the results most of the time. But we can see the forest, not only a tree.

Thanks for all the info! I don’t mind you guys doing 1 video or multiple!
That snake is living the good life lol
Loved this video! Hi, Tic Tock your looking great pretty girl!!
Expecting someone to scream while someone’s being bitten by an alligator seems like a pretty normal response for an average person. Not everyone swims with alligators and has pet Toucans LOL
Thats why Im with Chris on it 😂😂
People scream when they see something scary. Not everyone can stay perfectly calm.
these episodes are great! 5h w/tiktok
Always good info. Thank you
Definite enjoy these videos!
So what is the correct way to handle a situation like this? Like if you were a normal person watching this happen... what should we do to help?
id like a regular video talking about viral incidents/videos (id rather a longer video with lots of content rather than a several short one about only one event)
Wow! Hadn't seen that before. I hope there wasn't too much damage. Sometimes, things go wrong despite the fact that you know what you're doing. Animals are unpredictable. Thanks for talking about this
So my question is, where's the alligator now
At the farm still
@@FloridasWildest cool
@@FloridasWildest How can I get ahold of you privately? Are you on Facebook? I am in Florida also and need to ask you something?
Chris is wearing the same shirt as the last one of these y’all did. Was that planned??
Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago🙏
That guy was very good at being calm... so that was good... but all of my gator experience says nope... I don't want to even be that close...
It's really, really, really, really......it don't look too good, Bro. 😄
Thanks y'all for your hard work. Really. 😉
Is the trainer okay?
Ticktock is a whole vibe

Awesome information. Thanks 😊
Awwwww they kept The python as their own that’s so sweet
We want more videos like these 🔥🔥🔥
Chris, is the shirt you are wearing for sale. I ❤ Casper.
I am here to see Tick Tok. She looks so beautiful and content.
I prefer multiples TikToks with reaction instead of just one
You should do a reaction video to the movie Crawl!
Thxs for the video! 😃
Good stuff. More please.
I'm guessing he was VERY lucky that it wasn't an aggressive bite
Dude just like me I do tattoos and the first bad one every one will be like that guy can't tattoo why did u go to him....but until then everyone calls me because I'm cheaper than a shop....do one bad tattoo the world knows ....do 100 great ones nobody knows..... People love drama
Love the videos... Do as many as you can
Its a horrifying situation, its expected someone screams. I won't because I can't breath when I see these events
I love seeing Tik Tock!
Everyone is a couch critic. Play with wild animals long enough these things happen. Train domestic dogs long enough you get bit eventually too.
Great video👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great commentary.
🤣😂🤣don’t be that person.. the look on your face is priceless..
What about pouring alcohol in the gator or snake's mouth? Would that turn off the animal or agitate it more?
I have been getting so many spam calls lately one from Poland lol
I get scam calls like so often and is just annoying
Working with gators sounds similar to working with dogs, dogs do the roll too and there's way to prevent being biten but every dog is different.
Hope you all the best of luck when around these awesome creatures 💫
