|  | Regular Member | | | | | IF I got an exhibitors licence I would definitely be prodding hubby to let me get a freshy. They are amazing creatures and I have heard (although haven't had any hands on personal experience) that they are reasonably placid.
Does anyone here in NSW have one?

| | Regular Member | | | | | What were you feeding them Baz? Chickens?
They would get expensive to keep I imagine! They don't grow very big do they? I was actually watching a dvd on the way home last night about freshys, they only looked to grow about 5ft long.

next time i stuck to beef chunks,which still made a mess

| | Regular Member | | | | | what size tank were they in? Wouldn't it have to be huge?
Ugh mental picture of rat mess.... ewwww!!!
And where on earth would you put the crocs while you were cleaning? Missing any fingers?

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Mar-05 Location: melbourne australia Age: 45 | | | it was a big tank,7 ft maybe,no where near big enough for crocs imo
but i was not there to make judgments,i was just enjoying the job id been asked to do,,i had large bins that i put them in to clean their cage.my friend got tagged by one on the hand but managed to get loose before it rolled.lol.very lucky,could have been a lot worse for him..i think he has given the crocs a miss now.lol
