    How to try and get the freshwater crocodile on on NSW native animal keepers list?

    I've always wanted to own a pet crocodilian! I wish it was possible to legally own crocs in NSW like it is for VIC. Does anyone know how to go about trying to make them legal? I'm sure hundreds of herp addicts have tried before.. I can only wish they'll be available here in the (near) future.
