absolute stunners mate!!

[Renagade]

nice what do you feed your crocs? how often? is it getting expencive?

 

[itbites]

Hey nice crocs mate are they the ones you just got?

 

[mckellar007]

umm fish, chicken necks, mice occasionally, yabbies, prawns etc etc etc, the freshies eat crickets and little fish, and what ever meat i can cut up small enough for them....

i feed them a little bit ever 3 or 4 days, they have a couple of fish in there too that they can just eat if the decide too

its not really exspensive like, you can buy a pack of a dozen chicken necks for 4 dollars at safeway, fish you can buy in bulk, aka bait packets, crickets evey1 knows about, live fish 2 bucks each, or 1 for the tiny ones, yabbies 2 50 each, it all comes down to about 10 a week for the 3 of them

 

[mckellar007]

yeah they are, im just getting used to handling them again, you forget how fast they are and how many teeth they have!!

You mat need to get a heated pool in a few years for that saltie, Awsome animal.

 

[mckellar007]

yeah, im planning to build a BIG outdoor enclosure and shed with a doggie door and an indoor and aoutdoor pool etc, cos in the winter, hes gonna need to be inside still, damn melbourne weather

 

[Jess]

Hi, probably a dumb question but what happens when the crocs get BIG! Are you allowed to keep them still?

 

[mckellar007]

yeah you are, i herd somewhere that you need a special permit for crocs over 2.5 metres but im not sure if thats true

 

[sandfire]

nice

 

[Jess]

ok cool

Awesome animals by the way

 

[Frozenmouse]

nice crocs do you know if the saltie is male or female yet .?in the nt we can only keep crocs till they are 60cms if you live in suburbia but if you live in the rural areas you can keep them at any size with an approved enclosure.

 

[mckellar007]

umm, i would presume hes a male, because it came from crocodylus, and they breed them all to be male (incubate the eggs at exactly 32 degrees) so that they grow faster and they can turn them into a handbag faster... so my guess would be male, but im not 100%
