After seeing Leighs set up couldnt help ourselves, I keep most of the big monitors so this was the next step.
The Tank is 6ft long 3ft high 2ft wide, 200watt water heater, 150 halogen light, 4ft uv, white spot for night to simulate moon light, land area planted with mondo in coco peat , water side artifical plants and live fish.
The litle fellas are 8 weeks old and feeding every second night on chicken. They also have surprising jaw strength for there ages (been bitten twice)

One is very bitey the other seems more laid back, time will tell.

How long does it take for them to outgrow a tank...what sort of setup have you got planned for then? Turtle pits look tops so I'd love to see a Croc equivalent
