Hey Jesse,
Check out this website http://crocodilian.com/ contains everything you would want to know. Has a large section on captive care, species info, etc. Should have nearly everything you need to know. Good luck.

dunno seen a big discussion on this not long ago some were saying u can others you can't and from what I read you have to sell them back to the crock farms once they get over a certian size and then start over again, maybe go back and search some of the threads on here as it wasn't that long ago maybe a couple of weeks

temps should be 26-29 in the water and the depth is not important just make sure 70% of cage is water
