my mates freshwater crocodile pics

[leviathan]

went to a mates today coz he has a fresh water croc that he has not got out of the enclosure for 7 months, so i thought id come round and give it a crack, not having any experience with crocs it was a new and very exciting experience check out the photos, its a beauty.

[Jazzz]

so when they get to a certain size do you have to get rid of it? where do they go??

 

[bluey87]

would prob have to setup and outdoor enclosure, but than there would be certian regulations with that wouldnt there? and can u own crocs on a basic reptile license?

you need a advanced license, he got it from phillip island, he has a pond outside for when it gets a little bigger and then for when it gets larger he is currently in the proccess of digging a large pond and stuff for it, he lives on property.

 

[bluey87]

is it easy to apply for an advance license?

yer he said something about some reptile park thing there, and the guy there must of been a breeder perhaps

yup too easy , pay extra money and fill the form in ... thats it .

 

[Jazzz]

so you can actually keep a full grown croc? =S

i thought you had to trade it in when it got to a certain size...

 

[blueyman]

has he ever been bitten?

 

[bluey87]

u think after i upgraded my license i would be able to keep one in suburbia QLD? with a properly made enclosure that is safe for the croc and safe from intruders/ppl

 

[leviathan]

has he ever been bitten?

he has never been bitten, when it was young he handled it often but then got a bit lazy, it was getting aggresive so he hadnt handled it for 7 months before i came over today and got it out for him

 

[blueyman]

nice, do you know how old it is?

 

[cadwallader]

lol sooo nice bump them up the list... lol

 

[leviathan]

nice, do you know how old it is?

umm nah sorry, im tipping its quite young but, im no expert on crocs though

 

[snakehandler]

In Victoria there is no size limit, just have an advanced permit, an appropriate enclosure and it's all good!

 

[crocodile_dan]

Hey Bluey87, not allowed crocodiles in Queensland unless you hold a demonstrator or exhibitor. Regulations on crocodiles are different across states and territories.

 

[bluey87]
