Even for Robb, who has more than two decades' experience trapping reptiles, capturing the alligator that takes its name from Chance the Rapper was a big ask. A couple of days later, it was back to Northeast Florida where Chance found his new home at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm and a pretty cozy life there. Robb acknowledged that the gator's fate is far better than what most captured reptiles would receive.
