Meet Dr. Meadows and Abby: The Team Behind Our Gators and Tortoises 🐊🐢

At Tom & Jerry’s Airboat Rides in Lake Panasoffkee, visitors love the thrilling airboat rides, Florida wildlife, and family-friendly atmosphere. But behind every unforgettable wildlife encounter is a dedicated team ensuring that our alligators and tortoises are healthy, well cared for, and thriving.

That team is led by Dr. Brandon Meadows, our trusted veterinarian, along with his skilled assistant Abby. Their expertise and compassion play a vital role in maintaining the health and safety of the animals that make Tom & Jerry’s such a special place to visit.

Expert Care for Florida’s Icons

Dr. Meadows regularly examines our alligators to monitor their overall health, behavior, skin condition, and diet. He ensures their habitats are clean, enriching, and designed to support their natural instincts. Abby assists every step of the way—helping with exams, feeding routines, and observation—so that each animal receives attentive care.

For our tortoises, Dr. Meadows and Abby focus on nutrition, shell health, and mobility. They provide routine checkups, adjust feeding plans, and keep a close eye on their well-being. These efforts help our tortoises remain active, healthy, and happy in their habitat year-round.
