What are the rules for having fresh water crocs. Could you get one with a NSW basic reptile keepers licence?

Nice fat freshie mate.
How often, and what are you feeding it?

Also is the tube going in the water in the second photo for the water heater?

Check my past threads for some pics of my croc setup.

cool tank and croc , the croc looks like a tubby little bugger . im still in the tank planning stage , but i will get a croc in the near future .

thanks mate feed him chicken harts about three times a week an put a few goldfish in every week or 2 and a pinky every now an then an just bits of meat wen ever...yer they are 52mm plastic tubes just from bunnings drille some holes in them so the water flows through just in case he bites em one day..ok cool ill check them out now

Might have to give the chicken hearts a go one time.
Not meaning to have a go, but you should try to feed more pinkies than chicken hearts as whole prey is a more substantial diet for them.

On another note, I just went out and bought one of those magnetic algae cleaners, and Irwin hates it, biting and snapping at it whenever I try to clean his tank.

in vic there on advanced and nsw rules are stricter so definatly on advanced in nsw

 

[AllThingsReptile]

since no-one has replied to you actual question i thought is throw one out there..
why dont you just extend the one you have or make one like that-everyone that has commented seems to love THAT design so yeh maybe just stick with that

cheers-seb
