Sweet. I'm only 21 so I might see mine out. The question is, do I really want to? He's part of the family now and selling him would be hard enough. Imagine if he died

Sounds about right in the wild but alot of the wild life expectancies give an average and doesn't count the outlieing really old fellas, and in captivity i would expect a bit longer. Didn't Eric just die at 60?

There are a few people who think they could live as long as 100 years, and a few individuals probably do as with humans, but on avarage it would probably be less.

Woohoo! i was right! lol

It is clear that stories of crocodiles living hundreds of years are simply untrue, yet there is reasonable evidence that medium to large species are capable of attaining at least 60 to 70 years when disease, starvation and predation have been avoided.

In Vic there is no restriction on size, the DPI and Animal Welfare have restrictions on the size of the enclosure, that will stop most people having them in their backyard. Apart from that you can keep any croc to any size.

once they reach 2.5 you have to have them come out and see that you have a suitable size enclosure to keep them further. They then grant you a permit (in Vic)
