....What Zoo do you work at? I'd love to volunteer at my Zoo on the weekends but It's pretty sad. Our Zoo has practically nothing, Only one gator, out of Crocodylus. They do have a nice herp house, though anyone here that owns a commercial breeders license can get the same species the Zoo has in hots. I do favor the Red foxes they have... Juss a bunch of rambling, sorry.

Great pics. Crocodilians are some of the best creatures too keep if you can provide the proper room and cages like you's

Keep up the great efforts

These are pound for pound the strongest crocodilian. Do you guys agree?

I remember trying to wrestle down and panacur some huge 5 footers a few years back.....not fun

They weren't feeding at the time, if you guys are wondering why we just didn't do it by injecting the rats....

I agree reptile HQ.

I had to move a 2 foot and a half Cuviers and he was nasty as hell .. never handled in his life .. His strengh amazed me .. then I had to moved a Shneiders dwarf .. (strengh is comparable to the cuviers) and it was CRAZY!!

I was about 3 feet some inches and the strengh was crazy... at one point I remember debating as too wether I should let go or keep trying lol I decided to keep holding on and keeping my fingers lol

Crocodilans are by far the strongest of reptiles and and if u don't fear them.. u should lol

I think fear cause you to be cautious and have common sense ..

lol boy have I rambled on in teh wrong direction lol

well she eats about 5-6 chicks a week plus I throw the occasional rat in and there are always fish swimming around in her pond in case she needs a little snack so I don't think so hehe.
