I am travelling the Philippines at the moment and couldn't believe my eyes when i saw this tank.
I spent the day at the Davao Crocodile Farm and had a ball.
On the way out there were some babies for sale.
By the way there will be many more phots to come once i get back.
Oh and an Australian dollar buys you 30 Peso so you do the math

More like $150. But you must feed well till it feeds on you.
They feed them live chickens here. The chickens look freaked out just waiting to be eaten.
Wait till i upload the next few photos.
 
would a international licence be able to let u buy those or what. btw how much does a interational licence cost exactly?
 
they are one of the worlds largest snake. btw they are only very young.
 
Expensive!

They are obviously trying to sell them to nieve tourists, as I can't see the locals paying those prices.

You can't import them into Australia. Only a few zoo's would/have been able to do it.

You wouldn't be able to export them out of the Phillipines unless you had a cites export doc and a cites import doc from a country that allows them.

Yeah for the price here they are very expencive.
I think they were aimed at stupid American tourists not the locals.
 
Feeding time

This is one of their breeders. It was only kept in like a chook pen like cage.
Anyone could just reach in and pat it.
It was clearly about to shed and had no interest in the chicken.
I'm sure it will soon though. Mean while the chicken just sits and waits

It was funny watching little kids stick their hands in to pat it and their perents grabbing them in huge fright.
They didn't learn though, i watched a kid get bitten by a mongoose

I would hope the American tourists weren't that stupid...baby burms are only about $75 USD here.

Then again, they just might be...
 
There are some crazy tourists over here.
Even i was stupid enough to think of buying it.
Not the type of little friend to be travelling around with though
