ok, rule for sa, specalist permit and its a bi***h to get, im looking into it now, i have the supplyer that can get a hatchling for $350, but you need enclosure plans, snr first aid, and emergency proceedures in place, then they will vet you im looking at 3 years b4 i finish and have one in my collection, my advice do your homework first and most permits will allow johnsons only, i tried and cant get a salty, (spelling is terrible lol)

 

[noidea]

in a way i'm glad we can't have crocs here in queensland otherwise i'd have one because of my son and hubby, and ally pup if you would like to see some crocs there is a resident 9 footer at the victor creek boat ramp, out at seaforth and if you have a boat, even bigger ones in the the creeks around that area.

Im fairly sure you can get them from croc farms(when legal requirements are met) and just give them back when they get to big.

if thats true, it would at least give 1 croc a better life for a while, the conditions at those farms are pathetic.
either way, that croc is gonna be hat or purse sooner or later...:cry:
