yeah, that makes me think of a funny story one time i had to break into my own house, which I had to do by climbing over the croc tank while the lid was being worked on. I was very concerned for my kids.....or any chance of having kids anyway

No way!
I'm going to set up a little croc santuary, where unwanted crocs can come and live in my yard and i'll give them big cuddles everyday....
and then i'll end up like that crazy lady who was eaten by the dozen rabid wild dogs she "rescued".
Hmmm. I want a croc so badly - so much respect for an animal that magnificent...
but i would never support the trade for animal skin... and before i get yelled at - no i don't wear leather. and even if i did - cows are stupid.

Yeah if i was going to keep a croc, which i probably will at one stage or another, i will set up something to keep it in until it is an adult and dies.

Mine is mine. Not the croc parks. I have no obligations and wouldn't do that. My guy is getting to big for his enc at the moment and I wasn't trying to think of ways to get a bigger enc, now I know someone who keeps heaps of crocs and has a granny flat in the backyard set up for them so I am thinking of passing him on his way, but not until I got another on the way. When i do own my own property and got the money tho, I will defidently be setting myself up for full gorwn crocs. At least one saltie and two freshies

that's fantastic punja - and it's good that you have a plan for him that doesn't involve some stupid wh***'s new shoes. i'm not cut out for country living - but i'm insanely jealous nonetheless.

I will definately still get one or two one day.
