also.. a gator's size is generally relevant to the size of it's enclosure. so if the baby or even very young gator was transported in a smaller enclosure it would'nt grow much.. a 3 yr gator generally is between a foot and a half to 3 feet long.. they grow between 2 inches to 1 foot per year.. if kept in a small enclosure it would grow more slowly.. and if kept in a springs area that wasn't overly large the gator wouldn't grow quickly either..
