Nice!! They are so cute as hatchies

 

[waruikazi]

But there are dwarf australian salties. Just a morph of the normal big killer salties, i know a bloke who is trying to get a gov grant to start a breeding program for them... or something along those lines.

I think normal price for them up here is around $220 but i know people

I'm jealous.....are they legal to keep in captivity in nsw???

Ah man so jealous right now, I'm considering moving there just to keep croc's, It is a bit ridiculous that you can keep croc's but you cant keep Mitchells water monitors and Boyds though where is the logic in that?

 

[junglecarpet]

Great to see you have really though it through!

Everyone asks me what I am going to do with an 8 foot python when it gets that big and they are shocked to hear that I will always keep it (but I guess a freshwater croc is a little bit more extreme than that )

Obviously owning one of these is a passion and a dream of yours and its great to see that the little guy has such a great little tank now and you have planned for the future

Keep us updated!

[MoreliaMatt]

thats great!!! so cute!!!! is it male or female?

i so want one, but i think it will be a while before i can convince the missus!!!

 

[leighroyaus]

wow nice croc im thinking about moving to the nt just so i can keep a croc but not vic to cold lol

yeah heating will cost me a bit to setup in the outdoor enclosure when it goes there but will be well worth it

 

[RevDaniel]

Hehe - dream of moving to Vic to get mysef some crocs. Been suggested to me many times but one day I would like to make this dream come true.

 

[Retic]

They are top of my wanted list but we have the ridiculous situation where we can't have them here in Queensland.
