Here's a link for you: The only animals that get rabies are mammals. An alligator is a reptile and cannot get rabies...

Mnay state health departments show lists of identified rabies carriers for each county of the state. Can't remember specifics but when I took parasitology we learned that rabies was more concentrated in upper mamals in the wild including canines and racoons as primary sources. bats contributed but rodents were very rarley documented with the virus. I have never seen any report of it in reptiles.

Only mammals can get rabies, alligators can't.
