Personal stories?

[KrokadilyanGuy3]

After looking at all of the forums I attend, I was wondering if anyone had a story of some sort, working with crocodilians, or at least being around them..


Last October:
Now Im not one to normally show off, however, for the likes of me I seem to do so whenever there's a good looking woman around. I'm sure you've been there from one time or another.

Well, a friend and I went up to the City to meet up with another friend who also keeps reptiles. The friend I rode up with wanted to buy a few snakes off of the local resident, so I figured I'd go, can never meet to many people in the same hobby.
As they were piddling with a few Kenyan Sand 'majigs' I figured I'll walk around like I was someone of importance. Most of the stuff he had, I really knew little of. I did however, notice the guy had a sister, a very cute one at that. So ya' know, play it smooth.. So while walking around, fixing my collar on my colar-less shirt, I noticed something he had that I've been wanting since like the 50s. I walked up to a specified cage which held a very healthy suit case. (Yacare)
So, like a 7 year old child in a candy store, I pleaded to see it.. With my hands.
Now, before this incident, I have never seen a yacare in person, much less held one. However, this did not deter my eagerness to paw the animal. The guy wasn't to sharp on me holding the animal, but I reassured him that I've held yacares on a common basis for some good years. Lies but he doesn't know..
After a good bit of conning and well, throwing a tantrum he finally asked if I've ever been bitten. Of course not, I know what I'm doing.. Especially when there's a woman looking on at us. I didn't want her to know I was occasionally clumsy, I'm a man. After giving my informational status to this guy he finally gave in and said have at it. A lot of work to hold a caiman.. A woman was looking.
Well, as I went to grab this animal with 3 people watching my skillful hand at task, the son of a yeah took a swing and latched onto my pointer.
I'm not exactly sure what all happened being I was drowned in laughter. I am told I squeaked like a girl and the caiman became the first caiman to ever orbit the planet. I was a bit embarrassed after somewhat bragging about my flawless feats and also with a girl watching, laughing, and just standing there. I got no sympathy.
In conclusion, don't beg, it's never a good move. That, and always know women are evil.

Anyone else?
Saltwater croc. Woo woo
