Just thought id post some pics of a freshwater croc i have recently got
before anyone flames, yes this has been thought through, has been researched etc. and i have the space for when it gets bigger etc. so please, keep your flaming out of this post.
These pictures are for people genuinly interested, as i know its hard to come accross pictures and information on captive care. altho http://crocodilian.com/crocfaq/ has alot of good info.
the current enclosure is a 4x2x2 tank.
when this tank is outgrown the next enclosure will either be a fibreglass enclosure or a pen
before finaly being shifted to the outdoor enclosure
the water temp is around the 27 deg mark with the airtemp around the 30deg mark.
the crocodile is feeding fine, handling is kept to a minimum mainly just when the enclosure is being cleaned.
at some stage a webcam may be going into the enclosure.

| Lol I think you have your crocodiles mixed around. I watched a croc show last night and the guy was swimming in the river with freshies but as soon as he saw a saltie he was out of there with his tail between his legs. Plus every site says Salties are much more angressive.
